WASHINGTON, July 30 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that talks were moving along with China and he expected the two sides would reach a fair deal on trade. "We're moving along with China. We're doing fine with China," Trump told reporters at the White House. "I think it's going to work out very well. We're right in step. I think we're going to have a very fair deal with China." U.S. and Chinese officials met in Stockholm on Monday for more than five hours of talks aimed at resolving economic disputes with a goal of extending their truce on a trade war by three months. China is facing an August 12 deadline to reach a durable tariff agreement with Trump's administration, after Beijing and Washington reached preliminary deals in May and June to end escalating tit-for-tat tariffs and a cut-off of rare earth minerals. Trump's administration has agreed trade deals with the European Union, Britain and Japan. It is negotiating with multiple other countries to achieve more.

Spain's Viscofan reports second-quarter profit increase
GDANSK, July 30 (Reuters) - Spanish meat-packaging maker Viscofan ( opens new tab reported on Wednesday a 3.1% increase in net profit to 38.4 million euros ($44.08 million) in the second quarter from the prior year, as higher sales volume and cost savings offset the impact of U.S. dollar depreciation. In the second quarter, the company's revenues increased 2.7% to 311.5 million euros, while its earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) grew by 9% to 76.34 million euros compared to a year earlier. The North American and South American regions saw the highest revenue growth, with increases of 5.5% and 6.5%, respectively. Viscofan's solid second-quarter performance underscored resilient demand for its sausage casings despite broader economic uncertainty. The results showed growth from both the same period of last year and the first quarter. The U.S., where the company has three production plants, is Viscofan's second-largest market after Europe, accounting for 31.5% of its revenue. Viscofan shares had fallen around 8% since end-April due to lower-than-expected EBITDA growth in the first quarter and a 7% decline in net profit to 31.4 million euros due to negative exchange rate differences. The company said its operating performance is in line with the full-year guidance announced in February. ($1 = 0.8712 euros)
