Plan would prevent new tariffs planned for Sunday and roll back some existing tariff rates
President Trump has agreed to a limited trade agreement with Beijing that will roll back existing tariff rates on Chinese goods and cancel new levies set to take effect Sunday as part of a deal to boost Chinese purchases of U.S. farm goods and obtain other concessions, according to people familiar with the matter.
If confirmed, U.S. trade representative Robert Lighthizer and Chinese Ambassador Cui Tiankai are expected to sign at least the outlines of a deal on Friday, said another person familiar with the matter.
