President Trump tweeted Thursday that a new site for the signing of "phase one" of the U.S.-China trade deal will be "announced soon" after Chile canceled the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit slated for next month due to ongoing protests in the country.
Why it matters, via Axios' Jonathan Swan: Trump's tweet is the most definitive sign yet that the U.S. and Chinese teams are committed to signing the "phase one" deal. Some senior administration officials — who have felt burned by China before — had privately been cautioning that it was still possible it could fall apart at the last minute.
