WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump will make his trade deal decisions this week even as separate negotiations with China and the European Union continue, U.S. Commerce chief Howard Lutnick said on Tuesday ahead of Trump’s self-imposed Aug. 1 deadline.
“We’re going to have things done by Friday,” Lutnick told CNBC in an interview.
U.S. and EU officials were still discussing steel and aluminum tariffs as well as digital services regulations following their framework announced on Sunday. Talks with China, he added, were also “their own thing,” he added.
