The two nations revealed this month details of the so-called phase-one deal, which suspended planned escalations and lowered tariffs on a portion of affected products. The deal also appeared to secure commitments from China on some of the issues at the center of a more than yearlong standoff between the world's two largest economies.
Text of the 86-page agreement has not yet been released to the public. It is expected to be signed in January after legal scrubs and a translation process are completed the first week of January, US Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer said this month.
