White House official Levitt claimed that the US is full of confidence to reach a trade agreement with China. The US will not unilaterally reduce tariffs on China before the agreement is reached. After the agreement is reached, the specific tax rate will be finally decided by President Trump.
Trump has repeatedly claimed that China and the US are negotiating tariff issues.
The Ministry of Commerce of China responded by emphasizing that currently there are no economic and trade negotiations between China and the US. Any relevant statements are baseless rumors without factual basis.
Following the Ministry of Commerce of China, the Foreign Ministry also denied that China and the US are negotiating. Guo Jiaqun pointed out that China and the US have not negotiated or discussed any tariff issues, let alone reached an agreement.
CNN reported that Trump issued an ultimatum on the tariff issue, claiming that if no agreement is reached within the next 2-3 weeks, the US will restart tariffs for some countries.
