WASHINGTON: Deputy-level U.S.-China trade talks are scheduled to start in Washington on Thursday, the U.S. Trade Representative's office said on Monday, paving the way for high-level talks in October aimed at resolving a bitter trade war.Advertisement

Donohue, speaking at a news conference to urge congressional approval of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade agreement, said that Lighthizer"did indicate that there was some movement in the direction of purchasing of agricultural products and other issues." The head of the biggest U.S. business lobbying group added that it would be difficult to secure an agreement that fully addresses U.S. demands for sweeping changes to China's intellectual property and technology transfer practices, market access and subsidy issues."While I'm optimistic about it, I'm also a dead-ass realist and this is not a simple problem," Donohue said of the new round of talks.

President Donald Trump last week delayed a tariff increase that had been scheduled for Oct. 1 on US$250 billion worth of Chinese goods after China also delayed tariffs on some U.S. imports.
