U.S., China Agree to Reduce Tariffs Pending Deal

Trump administration officials have recently expressed optimism that phase one of a comprehensive trade deal might come together this month, the report notes.

SEATTLE (Waste 360): If the U.S. and China can work toward a deal, the two countries have agreed to roll back tariffs on each other’s goods in phases, Bloomberg reports.

According to the report, “if confirmed by the U.S., such an understanding could help provide a road-map to a deal de-escalating the trade war that’s cast a shadow over the world economy. China’s key demand since the start of negotiations has been the removal of punitive tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump, which by now apply to the majority of its exports to the U.S.”

Trump administration officials have recently expressed optimism that phase one of a comprehensive trade deal might come together this month, the report notes. The U.S.-China trade war has been ongoing for more than a year with repeated reversals between both sides.
