Key quote (Source: WSJ)
"Twin administration initiatives-pursuing tariffs on $200 billion of Chinese goods while relaunching talks to scrap tariffs-underscore a split within the U.S. administration, with negotiators in the U.S. Treasury Department offering a carrot, while the office of the U.S. trade representative threatens with a stick, both with the approval of President Trump, according to people familiar with the administration's internal deliberations."
