Charlene Barshefsky said it ultimately doesn't matter when the United States and China resolve their trade differences, as long as tensions don't escalate further.

Former U.S. Trade Representative Charlene Barshefsky said it ultimately doesn't matter when the United States and China resolve their trade differences, as long as tensions don't escalate. But she ventured that"it feels" like a deal could come by the end of April.

"They are going to have to find a way to meet," Barshefsky told CNBC's Martin Soong on Saturday at the China Development Forum in Beijing. "There's no question that for the U.S., the notion of removing tariffs before China has implemented whatever obligations it undertakes, seems a risk," said Barshefsky, who was the top trade negotiator for the U.S. from 1997 to 2001."For China, to undertake obligations, and yet to still face tariffs, seems unfair. Those are the two extreme examples, two extreme positions."

China should quickly get out of its huge US trade problemChina would do well for itself to get its unsustainable trade imbalance with the U.S. out of the way — quickly and resolutely, Michael Ivanovitch writes.
