The White House says President Donald Trump will meet with Chinese Vice Premier Liu He during his visit to Washington for trade talks

The White House says President Donald Trump will meet with Chinese Vice Premier Liu He during his visit to Washington for trade talks. The focus of attention is on how far China will go to make concessions and end the dispute.
Beijing and Washington are engaging in high-level talks this week as part of negotiations intended to walk back trade tensions between the globe’s two largest economies.
White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said Liu will lead a Chinese delegation for high-level trade talks on Wednesday and Thursday.
She said Liu will meet with Trump, as the President is eager to press the case for expanded US exports to China.
The Trump administration is seeking structural reforms to economic ties between the two countries. This includes a reduced trade imbalance and an end to alleged Chinese violations of intellectual property rights.
Liu will be trying to hammer out a deal with US Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross.
White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow and hard-line trade adviser Peter Navarro will join the talks.
The deadline for an agreement is March 1st, after which new US tariffs will go into effect.
