Beijing will approve exports of controlled items to the United States after U.S. and Chinese commerce officials agreed on a trade agreement framework following two days of talks in London earlier this month, China’s Ministry of Commerce said on Friday.
Chinese and U.S. trade negotiators have maintained “close communication,” and recently, the two sides “further confirmed the details of the framework,” a spokesperson for the ministry said in a statement.
