Friday's lot, between the UNITED states and China is only "the beginning of an end of the handelskrigen", believes associate professor.

the UNITED states and China have signed the first lot on the trade. It writes to the us president, Donald Trump, on Friday on Twitter.

Trump has called the agreement for "phase a", and according to a lecturer at the University of Copenhagen, denmark Jens Ladefoged Mortensen, it should not be understood as the end of the handelskrigen, but instead as an "extended truce".

- You have agreed not to escalate the conflict. You have decided that you want to withdraw some of the charges back.

- It is a strong diplomatic signal of generosity. Now being given breathing space to take some of the difficult issues up in further negotiations, he says.

Donald Trump says that the agreement concluded among other things implies that some planned tariffs, which had to be implemented 15. december, be annulled.

It happens, after the UNITED states and China since the conflict began in 2018 continuously introduced straftold on the goods.

the Uncertainty along the way got economists to warn that the conflict in the worst case, can drag the entire world economy into a recession, which will mean a period of economic decline.

Question: Why do you think that Trump has chosen to call it, "phase one" and "phase two"?

- It is partly to show results, partly to show that diplomacy works.

And then there is no doubt that Trump must worry a little bit about how the business community reacts to it here, and how investors have reacted to the handelskrigen, " says Jens Ladefoged Mortensen.

He adds that China and the UNITED states in no way is close to an agreement. Now they need first to discuss the "more serious and difficult subjects":

- It is among other things about China's alleged teknologityveri. But also charges of chinese pressure on investors to disclose trade secrets, says the lektoren.

Trump has played hard, and it can think about what you want. But there are many - also in Europe - which share the charges against China, and would like to get them to commit to some common rules, he adds.

According to Donald Trump will further negotiations on a trade agreement go ahead "immediately."
