United States ‘Miles And Miles’ Away From A Trade Deal With China

United States 'miles and miles' Away from a Trade deal with China. The United States is still "miles and miles" away from a trade deal with China, as US trade minister Wilbur Ross said, according to the reports.   According to Ross, that should not be a big surprise, because everything is so "complex". After all, there are a lot of concerns, he stated. Ross also referred to "structural reforms" that the Americans believe are needed in China. There should also be the discussion of punitive measures that can be imposed if parties do not keep to agreements. The US and China have previously agreed on a cease-fire in the trade war, with no new tariffs being forced. The deadline expires on 1 March.

Trump Wants To Make A Post From China More Expensive

Trump Wants to make a Post from China more Expensive. Donald Trump has reportedly invented something new to hit China in its trade dispute with the Asian country.   According to reports, the US president plans to withdraw the United States from a 144-year-old postal treaty. This treaty specifies that Chinese companies can send small packages to the US at an advantageous rate. They say that the White House may already come with an official announcement on Wednesday.
