U.S., CHINA TENTATIVELY MOVE TO REVIVE TRADE TALKS –

Top American and China negotiators are set to speak this week in an effort to revive stalled trade talks. President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping agreed at the G20 Summit to formally resume talks. Yet people following the process say that the issues that snagged talks two months ago remain. Among the sore spots: U.S. demands for China to buy more American agricultural and industrial products and to enforce protection of intellectual property and China’s insistence that the U.S. remove tariffs on $250 billion in Chinese goods.
