The chief Chinese envoy, Liu He, US Trade Rep Lighthizer and Treasury Sec. Steven Mnuchin promised to create ’favorable conditions’ for carrying out a ceasefire in their govts tariff war. However this followed a threat by President Trump to pull out of the agreement signed in Jan 2020, if Beijing fails to buy more American products and services in exchange for US suspending planned tariff hikes.
Lighthizer is a beast, I wish he would speak publicly more often.
