A spokesperson for China’s Commerce Ministry, Gao Feng said
at a weekly briefing in Chinese that U.S and China have agreed to remove the
additional duties imposed on each other’s products in different phases after
they make progress in reaching a deal. Canceling tariffs is vital to the first
phase of their trade agreement, which both sides have agreed to do as
negotiations progress.
