Purdue University Ag Economist Wally Tyner says it’s a positive sign President Trump and Chinese President Xi will meet soon to try to finalize a trade deal, but it’s unclear what a deal will look like.
“A deal could be okay we’re just going to go back to where we were—get rid of all the tariffs and declare victory,” he says. “A deal could also be an enforceable way to keep the Chinese from stealing intellectual property which is the big issue and if we can do that as well as open up trade that would be great.”
He tells Brownfield there are several long-standing issues
between the two countries.
