US: Treasury Sec Mnuchin on CNBC now... Teases "very complicated" Phase 1
agreement text to be released ... Says there will be more tariff rollbacks in
Phase 2, as was the case in Phase 1.
- "Phase 2 may be 2A, 2B, 2C...we'll see." Says gives China incentives to come
back to the negotiating table.
- In response to question about if there is no Phase 2 agreement, says would
still "absolutely" have been worth it to get Phase 1.
- Does not "view Huawei as a chess piece"; not part of the "economic dialogue",
instead part of the security dialogue, and as such will be negotiated
separately.
