Sept 3 (Reuters) – The United States and China are set ​to make ‌some announcements on agriculture and non-tariff barriers during a visit by ‌Chinese ​President Xi ⁠Jinping to Washington ⁠this month, U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said on Thursday.

“We’re ​not looking for a giant ⁠comprehensive trade ⁠agreement with China. ​We’re looking to ​manage this relationship,” he said ‌in an interview on Fox News show “Special Report ⁠with Bret Baier.”

“When President Xi comes, we expect that ⁠we ‌will probably ⁠have some more ​announcements ‌on agriculture and ​non-tariff barriers ⁠related to agriculture to incentivize American sales into China,” he said.
