translated from Spanish: U.S. and China try to relaunch trade negotiations, says Trump adviser

The United States and China are actively trying to relaunch negotiations to end the trade war that opposes them, Donald Trump’s top economic adviser said Sunday (18.08.2019).
“If the negotiations reopen substantially, we will bring Chinese officials to Washington for a meeting of chief negotiators in order to continue discussions,” Larry Kudlow said on the Fox News Sunday television show. According to Kudlow, it is senior officials on both sides who must talk by telephone “next week or the next ten days.”
The White House adviser’s statements nonetheless leave doubts about the arrival of a Chinese delegation in Washington in September, in response to a visit to Shanghai by trade representative Robert Lighthizer and Treasury Secretary Steven Steven Mnuchin.
Kudlow stressed, however, that their telephone conversation in mid-August following the Shanghai Lighthizer and Mnuchin meeting with Chinese negotiators Liu He and Zhong Shan “was far more positive than the media indicated.
Negotiations between Beijing and Washington began in January and seemed to be coming to fruition, but by the middle of the Boreal Spring Trump abruptly ended them, estimating that China was backtracking with some commitments it had made.
