The Chinese trade delegation arrived at the 0ffices of the U.S. Trade Representative at 5 P.M. to begin trade talks just hours before U.S. tariffs on imports from China are set to rise to 25 percent.
Update 8:17 P.M.: There are after hours rumors on Wall Street that President Donald Trump will call Xi Jinping at 10 P.M. EST, 10 A.M. Beijing time. Stock futures are moving higher on the speculation that China might win a last-minute reprieve from the tariffs.
Update 7:45 P.M.: There are reports that the meeting has already concluded, despite expectations that it would last late into the night.
According to one reporter at the scene, the Chinese delegation is headed to their hotel and Lighthizer and his guys to the White House for an Oval Office meeting.

My man President Trump will do what’s best for the US. I’m not worried.
China tariffs plus income tax cuts would be a win for our economy.
Let us stop subsidizing Chinese economy with our income tax and their dumped goods.
I lost $14k on this week. 40% of my money is in the S&P. You mean it all comes back tomorrow?
I don’t want it to come back tomorrow. I want it to plunge tomorrow, then immediately recover next week. My regular monthly investments in all my mutual funds are scheduled to be executed based on the closing prices of each fund on the 10th of the month. LOL.
I want the tax monies from tariffs.
Dude, this stuff always come back up. Many more lost money investing in China FOR GOOD.
This is a buy opportunity, the stock just went back up with Trump saying he would talk to Xi
You real long term enemy is this culture of stock market earning taxes, not the tariffs on Chinese goods.
100% tariff is not the same as 100% income tax under Stalin. The former is a legit defense and foreign subsidy of our government while preserving our assets, the latter is a complete theft by our own government with the help of foreign dumping coming as a means to bribe it and mitigate with black foreign market
“I lost $14k on this week.”
Don’t keep a weekly tab on your stock market earnings and losses. You will be much happier for it.
Hardest-working-President-Ever. Thank God Obama was a lazy Marxist.
You only lost if you sold at the lower price. The only valuation that counts is the dollar value on the day you sell. (Or the day the company goes broke!!)
Why not make the tariffs permanent? Why should we let China trade with us at our expense?
Tariffs are really putting America First.
“Don’t keep a weekly tab on your stock market earnings and losses. You will be much happier for it.”
Maybe DS is a Day Trader.

“Why not make the tariffs permanent?”
The other side can tariff too. In this case, we are hurting China worse than they are hurting us.
On the surface that sounds good, but China doesn’t kowtow to its citizens when the suffer. The US does. They are betting they can outlast us or wait for a Dem President who will surrender immediately.
I have no idea what my 401(k) is doing.
Bitcoin was up 3% today. Ha ha.
Much like polling; there is only one poll that counts [as long as it is fairly counted].
Talks to continue tomorrow.
Taridds on tonight? Don’t know. Probably not.
When you are stupid and weak...you must always work harder . ..often with results that are substandard .
