WH Trade Adviser Navarro now denying US-China trade deal is over – WSJ
Markets witnessed a dramatic turnaround in the risk sentiment after White House Adviser Peter Navarro retracted on his earlier comments that the US-China trade deal is over, as he spoke in an interview with the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) in the last minutes.
“I was simply speaking to the lack of trust we now have of the Chinese Communist Party after they lied about the origins of the China virus and foisted a pandemic upon the world,” Navarro clarifies further.
He said, the comment was not about phase 1 deal, which remains in place.
