U.S. and Chinese negotiators met for a fifth straight day on Saturday as the two sides race against a March 1 deadline to reach agreement and prevent a further escalation in their trade war. President Donald Trump said on Friday that there was "a very good chance" a deal would be struck, and that he was inclined to extend his March 1 tariff deadline and meet soon with Chinese President Xi Jinping. Extending the deadline would mean putting on hold a scheduled increase to 25 percent from 10 percent on $200 billion of Chinese imports into the United States.
