China Urges Trump to Lift Security Curbs in Push for Deals

China Is Pushing Trump to Ease Up on Trade Restrictions in Exchange for Possible Investments

China is pushing the Trump administration to roll back national-security restrictions on Chinese deals in the US, dangling the prospect of a massive investment package as part of a proposal that would upend a decade of policy.

In addition, President Xi Jinping’s negotiators want the US to lower tariffs on imported inputs used by any Chinese factories built in the US, according to people familiar with the matter, who asked not to be identified discussing private deliberations.
