FT reports on US moves to further isolate China

Report reaching us says...,
The Financial Times on how the Trump administration is putting further trade pressure on China
The new Nafta deal with Canada and Mexico includes a provision that would require its two neighbours to give notification of any trade negotiations with a "non-market economy"
Speaking on Saturday, a senior White House official said the US would try to replicate the provision in future trade deals with the EU, Japan and the UK
Says the (unnamed) official:
"Will this be a precedent for the future? Absolutely"
"It is important that we make sure that any agreements we enter into do not ultimately get undermined and [that] China does not find a backdoor way to gain access to the US market."

All this negative news on US ? China relations will continue to be a headwind for the Australian dollar.  And dont even get me started on any Australia /US discussion that seems to enforce such a China provision on Australia. .
