US, China set for more talks as trade deal looms

123rf

Trade delegations from the United States and China are set to meet in Washington this week. 

Both sides say progress was made when the sides met in Beijing last week, but sceptics believe that major issues remain unresolved. 

The Trump administration has treated to raise tariffs from 10 per cent to 25 per cent on $200 billion worth of Chinese goods if a deal isn't reached by March 1.
