Former U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said he’s concerned that China may still give up on trade talks with the U.S., even as the two countries come closer to a resolution to end their dispute.

The administration of President Donald Trump hasn’t been willing to deal with China in a language that the other country wants to listen to, Tillerson said Wednesday in an on-stage interview at a conference in Houston organized by KPMG LLP.
