ALL.
ALL. >>> MORE AMERICANS WATCH NBC
NEWS THAN ANY OTHER NEWS
ORGANIZATION IN THE WORLD.
>>> THE MARKETS JUMPED EARLIER
TODAY AFTER PRESIDENT TRUMP
TWEETED THAT HE’LL MEET WITH THE
VICE PREMIER OF CHINA TOMORROW.
TRUMP’S TWEET RAISING HOPES THE
TWO NATIONS COULD BE GETTING
CLOSER TO A U.S./CHINA TRADE
DEAL.
DEAL. KAYLA TOUSH SHEI IS IN WASHINGTO
THERE WERE TALKS THIS WEEK THAT
PERHAPS THE VICE PREMIER WASN’T
COMING WITH STRONG GUIDANCE FROM
PRESIDENT XI JINPING.
SEEMS LIKE THAT TURNED AROUND
TODAY.
TODAY. DO WE KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT
TODAY’S TALKS SO FAR?
>> Reporter: WE KNOW, ALISON,
THAT THREAT BY CHINA TO LEAVE
WASHINGTON EARLY WAS NOTHING BUT
POSTURING AT THIS POINT.
IN FACT, THAT MEETING IN THE
OVAL OFFICE WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP
GOES FORWARD.
GOES FORWARD. I WAS TOLD BY A SENIOR
ADMINISTRATION OFFICIAL THAT
THERE WILL BE A LARGE DINNER FOR
THE DELEGATION THAT THE WHITE
HOUSE IS THROWING TONIGHT HERE
IN TOWN.
IN TOWN. WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT THESE FORMAL
TALKS SO FAR, SEVEN HOURS OF
NEGOTIATIONS, ROUGHLY THREE
DOZEN CHINESE OFFICIALS IN THIS
DELEGATION.
DELEGATION. STAFF AT THE U.S. TRADE
REPRESENTATIVE AND TREASURY
ACCORDING TO TWO FORMER WHITE
HOUSE OFFICIALS I SPOKE WITH ARE
INCLINED TO RECOMMEND THAT THE
PRESIDENT SIDE WITH AN INTERIM
DEAL TO DEESCALATE TRADE
TENSIONS BUT KEEP TALKS OPEN TO
CONTINUE TO TRY TO HOLD CHINA TO
ACCOUNT ON SOME OF THOSE TOUGHER
ISSUES HE’S BEEN PRESSING FOR
THE BETTER PART OF TWO YEARS.
>> KAYLA, DO WE HAVE ANY SENSE
OF WHAT THAT TRUTH MIGHT BE?
"BLOOMBERG
"BLOOMBERG "BLOOMBERG" REPORTED OVERNIGHT
THE U.S. MIGHT BE WORKING ON A
DEAL TO DELAY THE TARIFF
INCREASES THAT WERE SET TO KICK
IN NEXT WEEK IN EXCHANGE FOR A
CURRENCY AGREEMENT.
CURRENCY AGREEMENT. COULD THAT POSSIBLY BE PART OF
THIS TRUCE, IF YOU WILL?
>> Reporter: IT COULD.
IT’S SORT OF A GRAB BAG AT THIS
POINT.
POINT. IT’S REALLY A BUNCH OF THINGS ON
THE TABLE, A FEW THE PRESIDENT
COULD SIDE WITH, A FEW HE COULD
LEAVE ON THE CUTTING ROOM FLOOR.
IT WOULD BE A DE-ESCALATION OF
TARIFFS NEXT WEEK, A POTENTIAL
ROLLBACK OF TARIFFS PUT ON IN
SEPTEMBER AND TARIFFS AWAITING
MARKET IN DECEMBER.
CHINA WOULD BE EXPECTED TO OPEN
UP SOME OF ITS MARKET SO THAT
COMPANIES NOT BASED IN CHINA OR
OWNED BY FOREIGN NATIONALS COULD
OPERATE A MORE LEVEL PLAYING
FIELD THERE.
FIELD THERE. THEY WOULD BE EXPECTED TO BUY
MORE PRODUCTS FROM U.S. FARMERS
AND A WHOLE HOST OF OTHER THINGS
THAT COULD BE INCLUDED.
THE EXACT COMPOSITION OF IT,
THOUGH, WE DON’T EXACTLY KNOW.
>> KAYLA, THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE,
IT SEEMS THERE ARE SO MANY
ISSUES FOR THE TWO SIDES TO WORK
OUT.
OUT. ARE THERE SOME BIG ONES THAT
PEOPLE SHOULD BE LOOKING FOR,
SOME SIGNS THEY SHOULD BE
LOOKING FOR TO SAY, OH, OKAY,
THEY’RE MAKING PROGRESS HERE?
>> Reporter: I THINK THE FACT
THAT A MEETING IS HAPPENING
TOMORROW SIGNALS THAT THEY’RE
MAKING PROGRESS OR AT LEAST
SIGNALS THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP IS
INTERESTED IN FINDING SOME EXIT
RAMP FROM THE ESCALATION THAT
THERE’S BEEN SO FAR.
THAT BEING SAID, IT’S VERY CLEAR
THAT IF HE CHOOSES TO DO A FULL
DEAL WITHOUT GETTING CHINA TO
MAKE PROMISES TO CHANGE ITS LAWS
TO ACTUALLY STOP THE
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY THEFT THAT
CAUSED THIS IN THE FIRST PLACE,
THAT HE IS GOING TO GET
COMPLETELY EVISCERATED BY THE
DEMOCRATS ESPECIALLY AT THE
DEBATE NEXT WEEK AS THEY
CRITICIZE HIM FOR BEING WEAK ON
CHINA, HAVING ALL OF THIS
LEVERAGE AND FOR MISSING THE
OPPORTUNITY.
OPPORTUNITY. >> ALL RIGHT, KAYLA, WE’LL KEEP
AN EYE ON THE TALKS AND THE
MARKETS TOMORROW.
MARKETS TOMORROW. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
