U.S. to sign significant trade deal with China ahead of schedule: Trump
  • 4 years ago
Could the trade war that has shaken the global economy to its core for close to two years be on the brink of resolution?
It's probably too early to say, but U.S. President Donald Trump says he expects to sign a significant part of his administration's trade deal with China ahead of schedule,... without being drawn on the specific timing.
According to Reuters,... Trump told reporters Monday that this is the agreement's so-called "Phase One",... stressing it is a very big and significant portion.
Washington and Beijing held working-level trade talks in Washington earlier this month,... following which President Trump said a practical agreement had been reached.
The leaders of the world's two largest economies are working to sign a trade deal on the sidelines of the APEC summit to be held in Chile next month.
