WASHINGTON, Dec 13 — US President Donald Trump yesterday signed off on a trade deal with China that would delay a new round of tariffs that was to be put in place on Dec. 15, Bloomberg News reported.

A source briefed on the trade talks told Reuters earlier yesterday that the United States had reached a “deal in principle” with Beijing to resolve a 17-month-old trade war and that an announcement was expected later. — Reuters
