In a media briefing after a second day of talks with U.S. negotiators on Sunday, Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng said trade talks with the U.S. “achieved substantial progress and reached important consensus.”
China said that it will release a joint statement with the U.S. on Monday regarding the agreement reached on Sunday.
“The two sides agreed on establishing a consultation mechanism for trade and economic issues, identify the lead persons on each side, and will carry on further consultations relating to trade and economic issues of their respective concerns,” the Chinese vice premier said.
That’s not a deal that’s an agreement on the pre-conditions necessary to begin talking about a deal.
A concept of a deal
Same thing with the UK deal…it’s just a framework but nothing is signed or agreed upon.
So to translate it to Russian for the US right wing, they already have got the absurdly long table, but Putin is still laughing about being late from the meeting with them in a talkshow instead of coming to talk.
