知情人士说，美国谈判代表已经与中国达成了一项第一阶段贸易协议，目前正在等待唐纳德·特朗普总统的批准。
贸易顾问定于下午2:30与总统会面。讨论协议。知情人士说，宣布可能会在一天结束时宣布。白宫发言人拒绝置评。
知情人士说，这些条款已经商定，但法律文本尚未最终确定。他们说，政府宣布这一消息后，已经与国会山和商业界的盟友取得联系，发表支持声明。
消息传出后，美国股市上涨，美国国债收益率飙升。星期四早些时候，特朗普在推特上说，美国和中国“非常接近”签署“大”贸易协议，也推动股市上涨。
“他们想要它，我们也想要！”他在纽约股市开盘五分钟后发推文，使股票创下新纪录。
预计第一阶段协议将降低现有关税，并推迟关税，该关税将于周日生效。
特朗普此前曾拒绝与中国达成协议。在总统于十月份宣布两国达成一项可以在几周内付诸实践的协议之后，谈判人员一直在就第一阶段协议的条款进行谈判。
在大约20个月的贸易战中，美国已对约2500亿美元的中国产品加征25％的关税，并对另外1100亿美元的进口产品加征15％的关税。作为特朗普近九周前宣布的临时协议的一部分，现在的讨论重点是将利率降低多达一半。

预计第一阶段协议将主要围绕中国农业购买量的大幅增长达成，以换取美国推迟原定于12月15日生效的新一轮关税以及减少现有关税。
官员们还表示，这将包括中国承诺采取更多行动制止知识产权盗窃，以及双方达成的不操纵本国货币的协议。棘手的问题推迟到以后的讨论中，例如美国长期以来对庞大补贴网络的抱怨，这些补贴范围从廉价电力到中国用来建设工业实力的低成本贷款。
尽管白宫会议可能会凸显出在是否以新一轮关税冲击北京方面仍存在分歧，但特朗普的推文暗示他可能愿意暂时放弃升级。
自特朗普宣布这一协议以来，来自世界上两个最大经济体的官员就一直在就第一阶段协议进行谈判。
除非政府另有指示，否则新关税将在华盛顿时间上午12:01开始执行，除非政府另行表示，否则将对来自中国的消费品造成约1600亿美元的打击，其中包括智能手机和玩具。
在今天之前，特朗普的顾问们发出了相互矛盾的信号，并强调说他尚未决定下一步的行动。主张延长关税的提倡者认为，与北京的持续谈判将使他能够与中国保持强硬路线，而不会造成更多进口税可能带来的经济损失。
特朗普面临的决定凸显了他在2020年大选中面临的一个难题：是押注与中国的敌对行动升级以及他如此喜欢的关税，还是遵循更多以市场为导向的顾问和商业领袖的建议，他们认为暂停升级将有助于减缓美国经济在大选年的反弹。

Trump understands what it takes to truly make China comply in these trade talks, and that is the imposition of more tariffs until the Asian country offer tangible solutions to the big problem of IP theft. Some insist that the talks are just about leveraging trade products and achieving economic parity, but these simply won’t happen unless we address the root of the issue, which is a decades-long culture among Chinese firms of stealing other nation’s businesses’ patents, copyrights, trade secrets, tech, and innovations. There’s pressure on the president, sure, especially from Democrats engaging in identity politics and big U.S. businesses who don’t want to rile up their Chinese investors and partners. Having said this, what’s most important is that the U.S. keep up the pressure and follow through on this fight to end IP theft, whether or not Trump gets reelected. We cannot just repeat the huge mistake of past policy makers, which is to take China’s threat on our national security for granted.

China and America have reached a wonderful Beautiful deal, the best deal in the history of the World.I can’t tell you what is in it as I had to sign a Confidentiality clause. Sooo Good, I wrote the clause myself.
Really? I'll wait till China confirms. USA man lie.
Trump 2020! it's not much about the lower tariff, it's about to make sure China in check in their ideology trading business, copyright, etc.
Donald Trump is a bad president and must resign from the democrats!
– Because he doesn't start wars.
– He likes beautiful women.
– He is not a pedophile / black / female or transgender.
– He does what he says.
– He makes the American economy run like a madman.
– He has made sure that hundreds of thousands of Americans have work and a job again.???
Gee, Obama's strategy to fly cargo planes to our rivals pack-filled with $100 bills didn't act as deterrent?? It not really that Trump is some genius, it's just that he's awake at the wheel. He's different because he has the balls and thick enough hyde to make the blatantly obvious choice.
This deal will never happen, China is in competition with the US for global hegemony, we are headed for a technological and economic war.
Donald Trump, losing another battle. First with the Afghan, now with China. Need to be replaced. Sooner is better.
No rush wait till China agrees to stop stealing off America
Americans are pretty dumb people.
Americans started an unnecessary trade war against China by taxing American consumers.
This war, as most American fabricated wars, achieved nothing except to slow the global economy and make everyone loose.
Trump will sure declare victory just like the fraudulent Bush's stupid "Mission Accomplished" banner !
How idiotic!
Dotard Trump wanted a contract, remember ? He can sign whatever he wants, but China is not going to give him a deal unless he reversed all tariffs. It's that simple. No deal is final answer. May the love and the peace of Jesus be with us.
Even a demoRat can see President Trump makes better deals than they do with China. Ever notice how filthy politicians get rich after giving our money away.
Donald Trump says he expects China purchases of Agricultural to hit $50 billion dollar, but China won't actually purchase that much agricultural products from the United States. China prefer to purchase agricultural products from Brazil which China wants to import natural resources from among other countries have natural resources that China want to import.
Doesn't mean China ?? will follow it……
Trump is gonna back down .china is to strong . all this mumbo jumbo .this past yr is a bunch of time wasted …..
LIED AGAIN ???
Congratulations to the two great nations of USA and China! Wish more Win-Win cooperation between the biggest developed country and biggest developing country on earth !
Now the House of Representatives dominated by the Socialist Democrats will wait to sign a couple of years to not give Trump a victory, although this deal boosts the economy even more, that's why I hate these Communist Democrats who want to destroy my country.
Yesterday I called this this trade deal a load of BULLSHIT, I was right again
COMMUNISM IS A SEVERE MENTAL ILLNESS!
STOP dealing with these COMMUNISTS!
They will only buy "U.S." products from their own owned facilities!
BACKSTABBING LUNATICS they are!
There is no such thing as ' in principle' deal. It's a deal only if it's in a written form and signed by both parties.
at this point，Trump needs to get rid of Pelosi first！
did china agree to sigh off too???! LOL
Trump : US and China will make a big deal.
China : what happen?
China is not buying any US soybean, they'd rather with Brazil and Russia.
The US interference in HK and Xinjiang is pissing off China.
trump sign hongkong bill not the trade deal.
Trump backs down again China WINS. They get what they want and the US loses.
Is this the 3rd or 4th time he said things were going good with a country… and then proceed to mess it up?
Trump is breaking his promises and selling American?? again for his political gains by agreeing with the cheating Chinese??.
Good, you people don't know what happen if he added the 25% tariff. We go into a recession and the world in a recession so we be there for 5 yr + the media don't show the tariff list but the most important is china feed us. Not kidding. China is a world country food wholesaler/ importer/ useing cheap container ships. And the own the fishing factory at sea. Food got tariff 15% already it's was going to get another 25% tariff .
They are smart everyone buy food 4 times a week. And food and gas are not on the core inflation data report . So nobody know. And the media don't say. Here. Judge for your self
