BEIJING—The United States and China will continue trade talks in Beijing for an unscheduled third day, a member of the U.S. delegation said Jan. 8, as the world’s two largest economies seek to resolve their trade dispute.

Steven Winberg, assistant secretary for fossil energy at the U.S. Department of Energy, told reporters at the U.S. delegation’s hotel that the discussions, which began Jan. 7, had gone well.
