WASHINGTON—China is pushing U.S. President Donald Trump to remove more tariffs imposed in September as part of a “phase one” U.S.–China trade deal, people familiar with the negotiations said on Nov. 4.
The deal, which may be signed this month by Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping at a yet-to-be-determined location, is widely expected to include a U.S. pledge to scrap tariffs scheduled for Dec. 15 on about $156 billion worth of Chinese imports, including cellphones, laptop computers, and toys.
