[Donald Trump asks China to lift all US agricultural tariffs]

US President Donald Trump has asked China to "immediately" lift all tariffs on US agricultural products.
In a tweet, the president said he made the request because "we are moving along nicely with Trade discussions". Donald Trump has delayed tariffs scheduled for 1 March on Chinese goods due to progress in talks.

[Why China is under pressure to make a trade deal]

The trade war may not have caused China's slowdown, but it is definitely making things worse. Growth data released recently showed China posted the slowest growth rate since 1990 but that in itself is not as worrying as other data points, including that consumer sentiment and retail sales are flatlining or weakening fast.

[Huawei preparing to sue US government over telecoms equipment ban]

China’s Huawei is preparing to sue the US government for banning federal agencies from using the company’s products over security fears, according to a report. Washington has been leading a campaign against Huawei which officials believe poses a national security threat. The company's equipment could be used for Chinese government spying operations, US officials have said. The company’s executives have strongly rejected the allegations which they say are motivated by political and economic concerns.

Conservative MPs who sank the agreement in January have been told to stand firm in next week’s repeat “meaningful vote” – even if the price is an extension of the Article 50 exit notice until the end of 2020.
