WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - The United States and China recently reached a Phase One trade deal as part of a larger bilateral trade agreement. The Phase One deal is expected to be signed in early January.

US President Donald Trump said in a statement on Friday that he had a very good telephone call with Chinese President Xi Jinping in which they discussed the US-China trade deal, North Korea and the protests in Hong Kong.

​The phase one agreement helps partially resolve the 17-month-long trade war between the United States and China that had cost hundreds of billions of dollars in tit-for-tat tariffs imposed on the other.

US Special Representative for North Korea Stephen Biegun visited China, South Korea and Japan earlier this week to coordinate efforts to denuclearise the Korean peninsula.
