Robert Lighthizer
Robert Lighthizer said a document will be called a "trade agreement" because "memorandum of understanding" didn't track for Trump.
China has warned that it will push right back as the trade conflict between the world’s two biggest economies continues to escalate.
Trump is a bad messenger for a reasonable idea.
An announcement could come as early as this week, the official told Reuters.
WHAT'S HAPPENING
Well, this is awkward.
The president must give a 90-day notice before opening talks on the mammoth trade deal.
Some Republicans opposed and some Democrats favored Robert Lighthizer for the post.
OK, the praise is not wildly enthusiastic, but still.
