China reported that its politically volatile trade surplus with the United States narrowed in October from the previous month as President Donald Trump arrived Wednesday on an official visit with commercial issues high on his agenda.

China's global exports rose 6.9 percent to $188.9 billion, a decline from September's 8.1 percent growth, customs data showed. Imports rose 17.2 percent to $150.9 billion, down from the previous month's 18.7 percent increase.

Exports to the United States rose 11.2 percent while imports of U.S. goods rose 17.4 percent, the customs agency reported.
