US ‘miles and miles’ from resolving China trade conflict: US official
WASHINGTON, Jan 24, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – US Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross on
Thursday said Washington and Beijing were “miles and miles” from resolving
their trade war.
“There’s been a lot of anticipatory work done but we’re miles and miles
from getting a resolution and that shouldn’t be too surprising,” Ross told
CNBC.
While much work remained to be done, Ross added there was still “a fair
chance” to reach a deal.
The remarks instantly pushed Wall Street futures lower.
