National Economic Council Director Larry Kudlow says US and Chinese governments are ‘now communicating at all levels and that’s a very good thing’
U. S. President Donald Trump’s top economic adviser said on Tuesday that the United States welcomed the resumption of talks with China on trade, while Vice President Mike Pence warned Beijing to change its behavior so as to avoid a new cold war with the United States.
National Economic Council Director Larry Kudlow told reporters at the White House that the U. S. and Chinese governments were « now communicating at all levels and that’s a very good thing. »
Kudlow said « it’s pretty clear now » that Trump will meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping at the Group of 20 industrialized nations meeting in Argentina later this month.
« We are working on background materials in preparation and we’re waiting for China to come back with some thoughts, » he added.
When asked if he was looking for concessions before the meeting, Kudlow said, « we would like to hear from them some responses to the things we’ve asked for in the last, I don’t know, five or six or seven months.
