US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer called for stability with Beijing days before US President Donald Trump’s closely watched trip to China, saying the US was not out to reshape the Chinese economy but to rebalance trade.The trade chief told Fox News on Friday that while the world’s two largest economies “always had a really robust trading relationship … it’s been wildly unbalanced with China exporting just vast amounts of goods to the United States and largely blocking a lot of US imports and goods”.“Our goal going forward is to have stability,” Greer said.

US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer stated that the United States seeks a rebalancing of trade with China, not a fundamental change to its economic system. Speaking on Fox News, Greer emphasized that the goal is to achieve stability in the trading relationship between the two largest economies. He highlighted that the current trade dynamic is "wildly unbalanced," with China exporting significantly more goods to the US while restricting American imports.

The US objective, according to Greer, is to rectify this imbalance and foster a more equitable trade environment.
