Top Chinese Trade Negotiator Traveling to the U.S.

The Senior Chinese trade negotiator, Li Chenggang, is expected to be in Washington, D.C. this week, to meet with U.S. officials.  Li, who is China’s international trade representative and one of the country’s key negotiators, will likely meet with deputy-level U.S. government officials.  However, a government spokesperson said the visit will not be part of a formal negotiating session.

As of now, there is no formal meeting planned between Li and U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer.

Reuters said traders around the world are watching to see if the current tariff extension will become permanent, or if President Trump will again upend global supply chains with another round of high duties on Chinese imports.
