US-China trade deal could be signed by Ministers, says White House advisor

The “phase one” trade deal between China and the United States could be signed by ministers rather the presidents of the two countries, US President Donald Trump’s top economic advisor said Friday, reported Caixin.

Larry Kudlow, director of Trump’s National Economic Council said: “You know, the two leaders may be able to put together a signing ceremony. Both leaders have said from time to time their top ministers could do it.”

However, Kudlow declined to predict when the deal would be ready to be signed, saying that “I don’t want to hang numbers on days, dates, days of the week.”
