Trump urged to follow intertiol standards to alyse deficit

Beijing, April 2: The Chinese government on Sunday urged US President Dold Trump to alyse the trade deficit with Beijing on the basis of intertiol standards, after he signed two executive orders to combat trade abuses of other countries. On Friday, Trump ordered the Commerce Department to carry out what he called the first major review of the US trade with the world to uncover practices that harm US workers and factories, which was seen as a clear message to Chi, which leads the list of countries having a large trade deficit with the US, Efe news reported. “Both countries are well aware of the reality, the cause and possible impact of the US trade deficit with Chi,” Chi’s Ministry of commerce said in a statement in response to Trump’s decision. The move came just a week before his first face-to-face meeting with the Chinese President Xi Jinping at his house in Mar-a-Lago, Florida, on April 6 and 7, which, according to Trump, is going to be very difficult.
