WASHINGTON -- U.S. President Donald Trump suggested Tuesday that the March 1 deadline for trade negotiations with China "is not a magical date" and could be delayed.
American and Chinese trade negotiators kicked off a fresh round of talks here Tuesday at the working level, preparing for cabinet-level officials to meet Thursday and Friday. The focus will be structural reforms, such as in intellectual property protection, which the U.S. side has been pressing hard for in China.
