China’s commerce ministry said on Nov. 21 that the country is striving to reach an interim trade agreement with the United States, a day after President Donald Trump said that Beijing has not “stepped up to the level” that he wants.

China is “willing to work with the United States to address core concerns” and is trying hard to reach a phase one deal, Ministry of Commerce spokesperson Gao Feng told reporters in a weekly press briefing.
