TRUMP ANNOUNCES PHASE ONE OF TRADE DEAL WITH CHINA

President Trump on Friday announced what he calls “phase one” of a larger trade deal with China. As part of the deal, a tariff increase planned for next Tuesday will not be imposed. The U.S. was scheduled to raise tariffs on about $250 billion worth of goods on October 15 from 25% to 30%. The specifics of the deal are still being hammered out, and they haven’t been signed yet.
