WASHINGTON — ITI issued the following statement from President and CEO Jason Oxman reacting to the partial agreement made between the U.S. and China earlier today:

“We’re encouraged that the United States and China have seized the opportunity to return trade negotiations to more stable and productive footing. The ‘phase one’ deal is a step in the right direction. It’s critical that both sides capitalize on this momentum to conclude a broader agreement that addresses longstanding unfair trade practices and policies in a meaningful way and rolls back detrimental tariffs. It’s time for this trade war to come to an end.”
