Biden's top trade advisor will say China isn't complying with phase 1 deal reached - superadmin - 10-02-2021
Biden's top trade advisor will say China isn't complying with phase 1 deal reached under Trump, according to sources
- President Biden's top trade official, Katherine Tai, will announce that China hasn't complied with the phase one trade deal, sources said.
- Sources told CNBC that the USTR is evaluating potential actions against China for its non-compliance, including possible additional tariffs.
- Tai's speech on Monday will mark the last three months of the deal, which was signed by Trump in 2019.
U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai will announce Monday that China is not complying with the so-called phase one trade deal reached under former President Donald Trump's administration, sources familiar with the matter told CNBC's Kayla Tausche.
Under the agreement, China was supposed to purchase an additional $200 billion in U.S. goods over a two-year period, but the nation has not lived up to that pledge, sources said.
The announcement will represent some of the the Biden administration's most forceful pushback against China. Tai will deliver remarks Monday on her review of China trade policy in Washington.
