Deputy trade negotiators from the U.S. and China are set to meet Sept. 19 in Washington, ahead of high-level talks in October in a bid to resolve the trade dispute between the world's top two economies, Reuters reported.
The talks, announced Sept. 16 by the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative, would mark the first in-person meeting between the two countries' negotiators since July, when negotiations ended with little progress, Reuters reported. U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin are expected to meet with China's Vice Premier Liu He in early October.
U.S. President Donald Trump recently agreed to delay planned tariff increases on $250 billion of Chinese imports as a goodwill gesture after Beijing disclosed that a number of U.S. products including whey, fish meal and lubricants would be delayed from Chinese tariffs imposed in 2018.
