US-China trade talks to resume after pause, US official says


Washington (CNN) Trade talks between US and Chinese teams will resume next week after a pause in negotiations, according to an administration official. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and US Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer will travel to Beijing for discussions meant to finalize an agreement between the two countries. It's expected a Chinese delegation, led by Vice Premier Liu He, would then come to Washington for further talks. Negotiations had been on hold as the two sides broached disagreements over enforcement mechanisms in a final deal, as well as intellectual property and technology disputes. Now, according to the official, the two sides hope to reach an agreement to be signed at a late-April summit at President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, where Trump previously hosted Chinese President Xi Jinping in 2017.
