More Talks Next Week Between U.S., China

Senior U.S. and Chinese officials have scheduled two more rounds of face-to-face trade talks in an effort to reach a deal that President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping could possibly sign by late May, a person familiar with the plans said.

U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin plan to travel to Beijing next week. After Lighthizer and Mnuchin’s trip, Chinese Vice Premier Liu may come to Washington for negotiations during the week of May 6, the person said.

On April 4, Trump said it might take four weeks to put together a framework for the deal and two weeks more to get the details on paper.
