TOKYO -- Attempts to resolve the trade war between Washington and Beijing have been held back by campaigning for key midterm elections in the U.S., according to Cisco Systems chairman and CEO Chuck Robbins.

Robins, in Tokyo to chair a meeting of the Japan-US Business Council, said he was "hopeful" that U.S.-China relations would improve after Tuesday's polls, which are widely seen as a test of President Donald Trump's administration.
