Charles that was secretary Steve Mnuchin moments ago talking about phase one trade deal thats getting ready just in time for apec, the meeting that will be held next month in chile. China reportedly wants more talks before the deal is signed. I dont know. I think its normal. People are interpreting that as a red flag. Susan we heard about this on friday, by the way.
