Top Chinese officials are scheduled to be in the US next week for talks with the Trump Administration, the White House said. Early in the morning, Trump was briefed by Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and other officials who had recently travelled to Beijing for discussions on trade issues. Led by Mnuchin, the delegation, among others, included the US Trade Representatives and the Commerce Secretary. The visit by the Chinese delegation comes soon after a US presidential delegation led by Mnuchin went to Beijing for trade talks. Trump wants substantial reduction in trade deficit with China, which currently stands at $500 billion.
