US-China Trade Talks Another Attention Point

A US trade negotiating delegation will be in Beijing late this week. Led by U.S. Trade Representative Bob Lighthizer and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, the two will visit Beijing for two days beginning Thursday for another round of trade negotiations with Chinese Vice Premier Liu He. These will be the first face-to-face talks since President Donald Trump delayed a March 1 deadline to raise tariffs on $200 billion worth of Chinese imports. A Chinese delegation led by Vice Premier Liu He will be in Washington to continue the talks starting April 3. The goal is to button down an agreement by the end of April.
