(Reuters) - Trade negotiators from the United States and China will discuss the implementation of the phase one trade deal in the coming days, with China likely to bring up issues surrounding TikTok and WeChat, Bloomberg News reported on Wednesday, citing sources.

Agricultural purchases and the dollar-yuan exchange rate will also be among the topics to be discussed in the virtual meeting that may take place as early as this week, though a date has not been finalized, according to the report https://bloom.bg/3h1krsw.

Last week, U.S. President Donald Trump unveiled bans on U.S. transactions with the China-based owners of messaging app WeChat and video-sharing app TikTok.

The report comes a day after White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow said that the U.S.-China trade deal was in "fine" shape, despite recent tensions between the two countries over Hong Kong, the handling of the coronavirus outbreak, data security and trade tariffs.

This is a democratic platform, people write on facts not others
The world has purchased its box of popcorn and other things. They are sitting there, stuffing their faces, all wide eyed and googly gucked, China collusiin will be for Biden/Harris/Obama/Clinton, China wants a softer America to manipulate again, and pay those politicians handsomely in various ways indirectly through proxy payments of us corporations. Or you can get America first, American Families First with Donald Trump and China finally entering trade deals after a Trump win. A Democrat win will usher in a China ownership of America within 100 years time. A Trump win will continue to steer America on her Independent world connected free course of this world. You are gonna vote to sell out America to China and Greed, or you are going to recognize the value of freedom and independence for the basis of what we already have created and what is always still be to create under these values. So caste your vote 2020, self defeating or prosperity for all, your vote, your choice.
This is a dialogue that needs to be had. The Chinese government has been exploiting US trade for years while stealing IP and engaging in blatant espionage, while the US has been the largest consumer and enabler of these activities. Without a stern approach and necessary threat of sanctions and tariffs, the US will continue be steamrolled. Trump is doing the right thing here.
