Progress toward a U.S.-China trade deal has stalled while the Trump administration determines how to address Beijing’s demands that it ease restrictions on Huawei Technologies Co., people familiar with the talks said.
No face-to-face meetings have taken place and none has been scheduled since President Trump and President Xi Jinping of China met last month in Japan and agreed to resume talks.
At that time, Mr. Trump said the U.S. would allow some U.S. firms to sell products to Huawei, the Shenzhen-based telecommunications giant that Beijing sees as a strategic priority and Washington considers a national-security threat.
