WASHINGTON—Vice President Mike Pence said on May 3 that President Donald Trump would “stand firm” on his demands for structural changes to China’s trade practices, and removal of U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods would be a part of a mechanism to enforce any deal with Beijing.
Pence told CNBC television in an interview aired on Friday that Trump “remains very hopeful” about reaching a trade deal with China in talks next week in Washington.
