US - China trade deal appears elusive after Chinese officials unexpectedly cancel visit to farms in Montana, US
A US-China trade deal appeared elusive on Friday after Chinese officials unexpectedly canceled a visit to farms in Montana and Nebraska as deputy trade negotiators wrapped up two days of negotiations in Washington.
The Chinese Embassy and the US Department of Agriculture did not immediately respond to requests for comment.The US Trade Representative’s office issued a brief statement characterising the two days as “productive” and that a principal-level trade meeting in Washington would take place in October as previously planned.
“Both sides agreed to continue to maintain communication on the relevant issues,” it added, without elaborating. The sources said that a lack of results from deputy meetings is not uncommon as they often are not authorized to make deals or present new offers.
