'We will work with the United States to implement the phase one China-U.S. economic and trade agreement,' Chinese Premier Li Keqiang said. 'China will continue to boost economic and trade cooperation with other countries to deliver mutual benefits.'
On Friday, the Chinese government vowed to work with the U.S. on the first phase of its trade agreement, despite recent tensions between the two nations.
Throughout the past two years, President Donald Trump's administration has continued to place tariffs on approximately $360 billion worth of Chinese goods imported to the U.S., and China has responded by taking similar actions. In an effort to ease the number of tariffs, the two countries signed the first phase of its trade pact on January 15.
The novel coronavirus, which causes the respiratory disease COVID-19, originated in Wuhan, China and has continued to spread across the world, specifically the U.S., which has remained the virus' epicenter. Since the virus hit the U.S., Trump has remained steady with his opinion that the outbreak could have been contained if the Chinese government was more transparent about it.
