The signing ceremony for the U.S. and China to sign the phase-one trade deal will start at 10:30 a.m. (CT) at the White House Wednesday.
In conjunction with the signing, the text of the agreement is to be made publicly available. However, there will not be certain components that are made public, including on the purchase commitment side.
“The only non-public component of the agreement is a confidential annex with detailed purchase amounts, which has been previously described,” U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said in a joint emailed response to questions, according to Bloomberg. “There are no other oral or written agreements between the U.S. and China on these matters, and there is no agreement for future reduction in tariffs.”
