知情人士說，美國談判代表已經與中國達成了一項第一階段貿易協議，目前正在等待唐納德·特朗普總統的批准。
貿易顧問定於下午2:30與總統會面。討論協議。知情人士說，宣布可能會在一天結束時宣布。白宮發言人拒絕置評。
知情人士說，這些條款已經商定，但法律文本尚未最終確定。他們說，政府宣布這一消息後，已經與國會山和商業界的盟友取得聯繫，發表支持聲明。
消息傳出後，美國股市上漲，美國國債收益率飆升。星期四早些時候，特朗普在推特上說，美國和中國「非常接近」簽署「大」貿易協議，也推動股市上漲。
「他們想要它，我們也想要！」他在紐約股市開盤五分鐘後發推文，使股票創下新紀錄。
預計第一階段協議將降低現有關稅，並推遲關稅，該關稅將於周日生效。
特朗普此前曾拒絕與中國達成協議。在總統於十月份宣布兩國達成一項可以在幾周內付諸實踐的協議之後，談判人員一直在就第一階段協議的條款進行談判。
在大約20個月的貿易戰中，美國已對約2500億美元的中國產品加征25％的關稅，並對另外1100億美元的進口產品加征15％的關稅。作為特朗普近九周前宣布的臨時協議的一部分，現在的討論重點是將利率降低多達一半。

預計第一階段協議將主要圍繞中國農業購買量的大幅增長達成，以換取美國推遲原定於12月15日生效的新一輪關稅以及減少現有關稅。
官員們還表示，這將包括中國承諾採取更多行動制止知識產權盜竊，以及雙方達成的不操縱本國貨幣的協議。棘手的問題推遲到以後的討論中，例如美國長期以來對龐大補貼網路的抱怨，這些補貼範圍從廉價電力到中國用來建設工業實力的低成本貸款。
儘管白宮會議可能會凸顯出在是否以新一輪關稅衝擊北京方面仍存在分歧，但特朗普的推文暗示他可能願意暫時放棄升級。
自特朗普宣布這一協議以來，來自世界上兩個最大經濟體的官員就一直在就第一階段協議進行談判。
除非政府另有指示，否則新關稅將在華盛頓時間上午12:01開始執行，除非政府另行表示，否則將對來自中國的消費品造成約1600億美元的打擊，其中包括智能手機和玩具。
在今天之前，特朗普的顧問們發出了相互矛盾的信號，並強調說他尚未決定下一步的行動。主張延長關稅的提倡者認為，與北京的持續談判將使他能夠與中國保持強硬路線，而不會造成更多進口稅可能帶來的經濟損失。
特朗普面臨的決定凸顯了他在2020年大選中面臨的一個難題：是押注與中國的敵對行動升級以及他如此喜歡的關稅，還是遵循更多以市場為導向的顧問和商業領袖的建議，他們認為暫停升級將有助於減緩美國經濟在大選年的反彈。

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
