Administration policy documents take aim at China, laud U.S. WTO activity

摘要

A pair of policy documents released by the administration this week outline how the Trump administration plans to make recalibrating the U.S. trade relationship with China a key piece of a broader 2018 trade strategy. The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative's fiscal year 2019 congressional budget submission and the 2018 Economic Report of the President both contain pointed language on Beijing's trade policies while featuring China prominently in elaborating on the administration's trade enforcement goals for the year.
