The Trump administration won’t send a top U. S. official to a major Chinese investment conference next month as the two countries continue to battle over trade issues.
The Associated Press reports that an official at the U. S. embassy in China told the news service that the Trump administration has “no current plans” to participate in investments with the Chinese government or Chinese businesses until the tariff dispute between the two countries ends.
“The U. S. government has no current plans for high-level U. S. government participation” in the investment fair, the unnamed official told the AP.
“We encourage China to level the playing the field for U. S. goods and services,” the official added. “China needs to make the necessary reforms to end its unfair practices that are harming the world economy.”
China’s conference, the inaugural China International Import Expo, is scheduled to take place between Nov.
