The commercial delegations of the United States and China are negotiating the bases that would delay the entry into force of the new tariffs on products of the Asian giant, whose implementation is scheduled for next December 15, according to The Wall Street Journal , which cites as a source officials of both countries.

In this regard, the Wall Street reference newspaper notes that US representatives would have asked China for a commitment to increase some purchases of US agricultural products, while the Chinese side intends to link these increases to the proportional withdrawal of some tariffs.

The information in the US newspaper reinforces the one published by the South China Morning Post , which pointed to the growing probability that the new tariffs will not take effect on December 15, despite the difficulty for both governments to close a trade agreement to resolve their differences before that date.

The local analyst, Lu Xiang, quoted by the Chinese newspaper, warns that the implementation of the additional 15% tariff on Chinese products worth about 160,000 million dollars (144,410 million euros) would have an impact similar to that of "a disaster natural". "If there are tariffs on Sunday, it would mean that the negotiations have collapsed," Lu added, for whom the final decision is in Trump's hands, although he emphasizes that "China is prepared for the worst scenario."
