WASHINGTON - U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin plan to travel to China next week for another round of trade talks with Chinese Vice Premier Liu He, a Trump administration official said on Tuesday.
“Talks with China are going very well,” Trump said at the end of a White House news conference with Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro. The Wall Street Journal reported earlier that following next week’s negotiation in Beijing, Liu would travel to Washington the week of April 1 as the two sides aim for a deal by the end of the month. The report, citing unnamed administration officials, said the trade talks were in the final stages.
Washington has demanded that Beijing implement stronger protections for intellectual property rights and end policies that it says coerce U.S. companies to transfer technology to Chinese firms in exchange for access to the Chinese market - practices that Beijing has denied. The United States also is demanding that China rein in hefty industrial subsidies that it blames for the buildup of excess production capacity in China.
