WASHINGTON—U.S. and Chinese negotiators meet this week for the last time before a March 1 deadline set by the two countries to reach a deal on trade. If talks don’t yield a satisfactory outcome, an increase in tariffs and the resulting tensions may hurt U.S.–North Korea engagement as well, an expert said.
A Chinese delegation arrived in Washington to start another round of trade talks with the U.S. trade officials on Feb. 19. The White House earlier said that if both sides fail to reach a deal by March 1, the United States would increase tariffs on Chinese goods.
