WASHINGTON/BEIJING (Reuters) -
Washington has set its terms for a trade deal with
China, offering to suspend some
tariffs on Chinese goods and cut others in exchange for
Beijing buying more
American farm goods, U.S. sources said on Thursday.
Beijing's silence, however, fueled questions over whether the two sides can come to a truce in their bitter trade war before a new round of tit-for-tat tariffs takes effect on Sunday.
A source briefed on the status of bilateral negotiations said the
United States would suspend tariffs on $160 billion in Chinese goods expected to go into effect on Sunday and roll back existing tariffs.
