China's No. 2 leader expressed hope Tuesday that disputes with U.S. President Donald Trump's government can be settled amicably and warned a "trade war would benefit nobody."
Despite Trump's promises to raise duties on Chinese goods, Premier Li Keqiang said Beijing has a "stable, optimistic outlook" on trade with the United States.
Li took the unusual step of making an impromptu statement to reporters during an appearance with his French counterpart, Bernard Cazeneuve.
