Tariff rollbacks a potential stumbling block?


China is seeking rollbacks on US tariffs implemented since March last year but Trump indicated there would not be a “complete rollback.”

WHILE the United States and China appear keen to sign the first phase of a trade deal, could China’s request for a rollback in tariffs be a potential stumbling block?

President Donald Trump who had referred to a US-China trade deal as being imminent, said he had not agreed to any rollbacks, contrary to news that both sides were planning to cancel tariffs that had been implemented.
