The US and China have agreed to hold discussions on the progress of a phase one trade deal they reached last January, local news sources reported Thursday, Anadolu agency reports.
"China and the US have agreed to hold talks over phone in the coming days to evaluate progress of the phase one trade deal," said Gao Feng, the spokesman for China's Ministry of Commerce, according to the daily Global Times.
The development comes as relations between the US and China are at a historic low.
Washington has punished many Chinese companies, including tech giant Huawei, for their alleged links to the Communist Party of China.
Both countries signed a phase one trade deal in mid-January, marking a major milestone in a more than two-year trade war between them.
