Few details released from U.S. China trade talks
The Deputy U.S. Trade Representative says talks with China this week focused on ways to achieve fairness, reciprocity, and balance in trade relations, but there is still work to do. Jeffrey Gerrish issued a statement Wednesday saying the focus was on China’s pledge to purchase a substantial amount of agricultural, energy, manufactured goods, and other products and services along with ongoing verification and effective enforcement of agreements.
Gerrish’s statement didn’t say if they made any progress this week on those issues, but Bloomberg reports observers did see development on energy and agriculture issues.
President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping gave their negotiators until March 1st to reach agreement on issues including intellectual property rights and forced technology transfer.
