Donald Trump to meet China’s Vice Premier Liu today

Washington, Feb 22 (UNI/IBNS) US President Donald Trump will meet Vice Premier of the People’s Republic of China in the White House on Friday to conduct trade talks, the US president’s administration said.

During the talks, the sides are seeking to reach a trade deal ahead of a March 1 deadline agreed by Beijing and Washington, White House press statement said.

Vice Premier Liu was among the Chinese senior officials who met a US delegation for a new round of high-level trade talks in Washington on Thursday.

The previous round of talks took place in Beijing in mid-February and was characterised by both sides as productive.

China and the United States have engaged in a trade war after US President Donald Trump announced last June that the US would subject $50 billion worth of Chinese goods to 25 per cent tariffs in a bid to fix the US-Chinese trade deficit. Since then, the two countries have exchanged several rounds of trade tariffs.

At the G20 summit in Argentina in December, Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping agreed upon a 90-day truce to allow room for a new trade agreement. The truce is set to end on March 1.
