TEHRAN, Dec 22_President Donald Trump says the United States and China have achieved a breakthrough in their trade talks, and would "very shortly" sign their so-called Phase One trade pact.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club(YJC)_We just achieved a breakthrough on the trade deal and we will be signing it very shortly," Trump said at a Turning Point USA event in Florida
The Phase One deal was announced earlier this month as part of a bid to end the months-long tit-for-tat trade war between the world's two largest economies, which has roiled markets and hit global growth.
Under the deal, the United States would agree to reduce some tariffs in exchange for a big jump in Chinese purchases of American farm products.
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said last week the pact would be signed in early January, saying that the deal had already been translated and was just undergoing a technical "scrub."
