Investing.com - U.S. futures were slightly higher on Tuesday as investors waited for a keynote speech from U.S. President Donald Trump that's likely to include comments on trade policy with regard to both China and Europe.
Trump is speaking at the Economic Club of New York and is expected to shed further light on the status of trade talks between the two largest economies in the world, after another confusing chapter of claim and counter-claim last week.
The President stated last week that he was not planning to roll back tariffs on China, putting the prospect of a 'Phase 1' trade deal in doubt. The Chinese Commerce Ministry had earlier claimed there was mutual agreement on reducing tariffs as part of the deal.
