U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said he’s considering a trip to Beijing this year to discuss sanctions on North Korea and how to shrink America’s trade deficit with China.

He made the remarks a day after meeting President Xi Jinping’s top economic adviser, Liu He, on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
