BANGKOK: US Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross met with Chinese Premier Li Keqiang yesterday afternoon at a regional summit in Bangkok, a person familiar with the discussion said.

The meeting came hours after Ross told a morning business forum that the US was “very far along” with “Phase One” of a trade deal with China. President Donald Trump on Sunday told reporters at the White House that a trade agreement, if one is completed, would be signed somewhere in the US.
