WASHINGTON - U.S.-China trade talks are progressing well and the United States aims to sign an initial deal this month, top Trump administration officials said on Friday, offering reassurance to global markets after nearly 16 months of tit-for-tat tariffs.
U.S. and Chinese negotiators had made “enormous progress” toward finalizing a “phase one” agreement, although the deal was not yet 100% complete, White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow told reporters on Friday. For now, Kudlow said planned U.S. tariffs on Chinese-made laptops, toys and other goods that are due to go into effect on Dec. 15 would remain on the table. He said the decision on whether they would go ahead would be made by President Donald Trump.
Agreements on agriculture, financial services and currency were nearly completed, and there had been “excellent progress” on intellectual property theft issues, Kudlow said, although some additional work remained on that topic. In financial services, the agreement would “give 100 percent ownership to American companies in China,” Kudlow said, citing insurers, security firms, and investment and commercial banks.
If you are a HongKong citizen and trying to remove the road barriers protesters set up, you will be assaulted! If you are a foreigner doing the same thing, protesters will just try to persuade you not to do this. One protest, double standards!
One HongKong citizen assaulted by many protesters for holding different political stand.
Someone take note of who is buying stocks just before these statements, then dumps them after the spike. Usually turns out to be shit. realDonaldTrump insider trading of the worst kind
He needs to get this resolved before it becomes a major negative issue for 2020.
The other side of Pluto does NOT count as near.
Hong Kong protesters are puppets manipulated by the US government!
He says that every week....for like a year
Thank you President Trump, and keep up the fantastic work!
Like the phone call, China called lat night
We will long be with the Deal with China. China will like to make the Deal. They are very much interested about the Deal. We have very good relationship with China. And in regard to the location of the schedule we are in the process of discussion may be the location would be..
Listen to that reporter trying to get Trump to say Mar-a-Lago so the news media can freak out again over nothing.
Another Fake win for Fake President. If people expect some great deal they will be sadly disappointed. Its supposed to be about China stealing American innovations but they always will.
If the Chinese open their financial markets they've got to be careful not to fall prey to the big corporate banksters.
Mike Pompeo predicts Trump China Trade war will end before 2020 election. It's Trump's Munchausen syndrome re-election strategy.
Oh reuters. You really need a headline that bad?unless we get totally screwed, there's going to be no deal.
Always remember, whatever he says is the exact opposite.
Why would anyone believe him when he lies like a rug
Communist China needs US more than US needs China. China was sucking up US$ 550 billion every year
Sure, realDonaldTrump , you're making progress by saying this, BUT there is no China trade deal and national debt skyrockets
Save_the_Iraqi_people
So in other words- no progress.
Going back to how things were with a different signature doesn't count as a trade deal.
At the request of Israel, United States cancels military help to Lebanese Army! 'This is not the first 'unwise' decision United States makes! This is a great help on the part of the United States AND Israel for the Islamic Republic and Hezbollah!' Kourosh Raadmanesh!
The Final Goal Of Donald J Trumps Trade War, Is To Shut Down Small Businesses So MAGA Corps Can Take Over. After All, It Is The GMO Farms That Are Surviving.🤔
Sure. China Just Dumped Tainted Drugs They No Longer Want, In America. The Question Still Remains, What Is Donald J Trump Going To Do With Tons of Poisoned Drugs?🤔
Ya.......we’ve heard that quite a few times now !!!! as a matter of fact, back in February MNUCHIN was saying they were a couple of weeks away from wrapping things up. jus’ sayin’
He's lying
We wouldn't need to make progress if Trump hadn't created this problem. Trump has no idea what he's doing and it's created issues for the entire world.
Trump did so much more for U.S. than former presidents and now someone wants to impeach him. That’s ridiculous! United we stand, divided we fall. Don’t fall into the trap of CCP.
I doubt it
Donald or Downald
When are you going to bring your businesses back to America Mr. Trump?
So he’s not then.
Not precisely an echo since native Chinese speakers have better English than Trump.
Best idea is, to cut all ties with China - until the communist regime is history in China ! The regime is a real threat to the worlds freedom an democracies. Better to support india, brazil or vietnam.
Progress for America = Impeachment
Human beings must be very disappointed！
Theatrics at every opportunity 🤨 He treats the presidency like a reality TV production & I don’t think 350 million people can afford it, life is hard enough for people no tolerance for a narcissistic leader that manipulates, fabricates & fornicates every chance he gets ⌛️⚖️
Works for me.
Delusional orange turd
TheResistance
I hope it includes 5G
Allow Bitcoin on the Dow. The Chinese will buy in and you can be a hero at 50000 of nothing money.
Trump TCB winning
Trump is winning for America. No other President could have gotten this trade deal with China.
Dragon on knees
I feel sorry for the Iowans who believe our lying POTUS We deserve better than the realDonaldTrump POS.
I just knew it from the way his mouth was moving on 'mute' — he is shouting again with some chopper whirring in the background so he can appear like he is an action figure...🙄
Besides playing people its a terrible location
trump should have taken a position as a circus promoter rather than disgrace the once-great American Presidency.
Does that also include dirt on Trump’s opponent?
对对对，您说的都对
Another lie
Yes, China wants, just wants, but actually they can’t !
Dealing with China can’t be easy. Trying to win over China is better than no effort like previous administrations
China plays the long game. They are waiting for him to be removed or voted out.
Market manipulation
Is that like the deal North Korea wants to make.
And we're also making tremendous progress on what many people call North-Korea-Lago. Grand opening soon.
This literally means they don't want a deal.
Mr realDonaldTrump China has not signed phase 1 deal yet. That was supposed to be signed last trade talk. CNN nytimes
US congress should launch investigation on trump illegal gaining from stock manipulation
How many times has he said this?
signed agreement, No guarantee China keeps it. repatriating profits... no profits because all siphoned off by China. China - create Political divide in USA🤜 America - 🦅 & world freedom 🤜 Politicians unite .. Else Americans 🤜 to ground & loose country
This goof can't possibly negotiate and actually win against the Chinese or Japanese for that matter. Now we have phase one? He is merely trying to save face and return to status quo. Sad.
Still trying repair a crisis HE CAUSED. TrumpBetrayedAmerica
I feel like I’ve heard this lie before.
Doesn't seem to match what China is saying.
Just flip a coin, no more guessing.
realDonaldTrump, do you think anyone with 2 brain cells to rub together believes any of the BS coming out of your mouth?
This dude takes so long to say nothing.
More orange bullshit
Uh-huh.
Any China deal Trump gets will be the deal China wants to give him. Because China isn't governed by a narcissistic fool with no strategy beyond manufacturing ego boosts
montgomery ward ?
Yeah right. The last time you threatened china with tariffs if xi did not meet you at the g20 summit
Translation: His team is getting owned again.
Even with a signed agreement, No guarantee China will keep it. As for repatriating profits... maybe there’s no profits because all siphoned off by China. Americans, you might loose your country if you allow Politicians that are under Chinese’s thumb to rule.
how many times have we heard this
Who is the greatest man to end the trade war?
China has no plan to honour the deal. They dishonour WTO , dishonour the UN registered SinoBritishJointDeclaration ,why do you think they will honour a trade deal with 🇺🇸 ..
Heard this said a million times nothing g seems to be moving along at all with China
China want to sucker us and they will if this Clown sells us out for a soybean order they need anyway.
My goodness. If China was wanting to make a deal, it would've been made, two years ago. Can you imagine a desperate country dragging out a trade deal for two years?
'China wants a deal' 'I have a very good relationship with Xi' 'We'll see what happens' 'China paying billions in tariffs' He's been repeating the same shit for months & months.
Let me tell you how it’ll go down. They’ll send some low-level official, they’ll meet and say some things, non binding things. Then Trump will host a press conference, flash a folded paper while saying “we have a deal!” On the paper is written “chicken fried rice”...in sharpie.
Literally no reason to ask him questions, since he doesn't know the real answer, or he will lie.
Longest lie ever
Bullshit as usual. Xi will wait him out.
Well, go on...shut up and do it already.
So amazingly articulate
He doesn’t know his head from his ass.
Distractions from DelusionalDonald .
QuidProPorco 😉
Lies.
Forget the bs. When and if it ever gets done then report it
How many times is he going to sign the same deal?
How much money did they slide you under the table Mr. Unethical Criminal realDonaldTrump ?
China wants to rule the world and control our thoughts. Look at Hong Kong.
China is just waiting you out. They know the election is right around the corner.
Stop reporting his lies.. he did this weeks ago and China denied it. These are lies that traders in S&P500 mini’s have made hundreds of millions on. Probably connected to Trump.
More lies so he can game the stock market
Translation: “I can’t get China to answer my call”.
I bet it is not as good as we had before trade wars
Geez, how many times has he said this same shit 🙄
He’s a rampant liar. When should we believe him? My belief, never.
China is schooling this clown hard
Screw this guy.
China has no plan to honour the deal. They dishonour WTO , dishonour the UN registered SinoBritishJointDeclaration ,why do you think they will honour a trade deal with 🇺🇸 ..
Liberals everywhere are devastated. 😭Trump2020 MakeLiberalsCryAgain
We had one before trump blew it up. How many family farms have been hurt by his idiocy and arrogance? Now he wants credit for fixing a manufactured problem.
Trump is just juicing the markets for his insider trading. He will soon talk the market down and make another killing for his insiders.
Trump caved in because he knows he is going to lose in 2020!
Don't be worried about my ex husbands
I remember when journalists actually reported news not speculation... let’s just wait until it’s signed on the dotted line
'In sight' if you use a telescope.
China tactics - Threats, warnings - not successful Talks .. - terms .. - not agreeable Talks. - terms - ok - HK - non negotiable Talks. - terms - ok - HK - 1country2system - our way Talks - terms - ok - HK 1country2system - basic rights Talks - open USA great businessman
How many times can you repeat the same BS that never comes to pass?
Wait until the deal is signed, we have a nut in the White House so take that in consideration.
Yeah Yeah... and this claim has been made more times than reports of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi's death.
Riiiiiiiiight... 🙄🙄
This is locker room talk when the pimply loser keeps saying he’s almost got a date with the prom queen.
Nothing is getting signed. Just hot air being blown by both sides to prolong the market bubble that is all. They are making their own plans to fight each other out after that!
May tariff relief come soon!
