Week 202020

Recent tensions in US-China relations surrounding the origins of the new coronavirus have prompted trade negotiators from both countries to make a call next week so as to discuss their trade agreements. Among the participants will be Chinese Vice Premier Liu He and US Commercial Representative Robert Lighthizer.

The subject will be the implementation of Phase 1 of the trade agreement since US President Donald Trump threatened to cancel the pact if China was failing to comply with its terms.

The United States had previously pledged to start negotiations with China concerning Phase 2 of the trade agreement, so as to deal with more sensitive government subsidies and technology transfer issues, but there has been no effort to start those negotiations since the coronavirus outbreak, which has disturbed much of the American economy.

Após as recentes tensões nas relações entre Estados Unidos e China envolvendo as origens do novo coronavírusnegociadores comerciais dos dois países farão um telefonema na próxima semana para discutir o acordo comercial entre eles. Entre os participantes estarão o vice-premiê chinês, Liu He, e o representante comercial dos EUA, Robert Lighthizer. 

O assunto será o progresso na implementação da Fase 1 do acordo comercial entre os dois países, depois que o presidente norte-americano, Donald Trump, ameaçou cancelar o pacto caso a China não estivesse cumprindo seus termos. 

Os Estados Unidos haviam se comprometido anteriormente a iniciar negociações com a China sobre a Fase 2 do acordo comercial, para lidar com subsídios governamentais e questões de transferência de tecnologia mais delicadas, mas não houve esforços para iniciar essas negociações desde que o surto de coronavírus bloqueou grande parte da economia norte-americana.
