Some US trade deals could be reached in weeks but no China talks underway, USTR Greer says

WASHINGTON, April 30 (Reuters) - U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said on Wednesday that the Trump administration expects to conclude initial tariff deals with some U.S. trading partners within weeks, but negotiations with India are not yet "finish-line close" and no official talks with China are underway.

Greer told Fox News Channel that the Trump administration is focused on "targeted" deals focused on increased market access for U.S. exports, reducing tariffs and non-tariff trade barriers, and enhancing U.S. economic security.

"I would say that we have deals that are, that are close," Greer said. "As the negotiator,in I don't like to negotiate in public, but I will say we're talking about a matter of weeks and not months, to have some initial deals announced."
