The Senior Chinese trade negotiator, Li Chenggang, is expected to be in Washington, D.C., to meet with U.S. officials and continue trying to move forward from their current tariff truce. Li, who is China’s international trade representative and one of the country’s key negotiators, will likely meet with deputy-level U.S. government officials. However, a government spokesperson said the visit will not be part of a formal negotiating session. As of now, there is no formal meeting planned between Li and U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer. Reuters said traders around the world are watching to see if the current tariff extension will become permanent, or if President Donald Trump will again upend global supply chains with another round of high duties on Chinese imports. At a soybean industry event in Washington, D.C., last week, China’s Ambassador said in a speech that U.S. protectionism is rampant and damaging U.S.-China agricultural cooperation.
