News that the United States may postpone the addition of additional tariffs on Chinese imports ahead of the 15th, which was considered the first deadline for trade negotiations between the two countries. It's too early to be optimistic, but it's a positive sign that the two sides will continue to negotiate.

The Wall Street Journal reported that the US government is planning to postpone additional tariffs on Chinese imports scheduled for the 15th.

Initially, the United States was expected to impose an additional 15% tariff on Chinese products worth $ 165 billion and US $ 196 trillion.

For this reason, the 15th of this month has been regarded as the de facto deadline for reaching a US-China Tier 1 trade agreement.

The introduction of additional tariff delays translates into a positive sign that the two sides can continue to negotiate after 15 days.

But it is too early to be optimistic because Trump's decision has not been made, the newspaper said.

In this regard, Larry Kerr says the White House National Economic Commissioner says "nothing has been decided yet."

President Trump mentioned earlier that there was no deadline, or deadline, in relation to trade negotiations.

In the meantime, the differences between the US and China over key issues have not been narrowed.

In particular, the US government has demanded that China openly announce its commitment to purchase US agricultural products worth US $ 47 trillion to US $ 60 trillion annually.
