(VOVWORLD) - The Trump administration would look at lowering tariffs on imported Chinese goods pending talks with Beijing, a source familiar with the matter said on Wednesday, adding that any action would not be made unilaterally.

The source's comments followed a Wall Street Journal report that the White House is considering cutting its tariffs on Chinese imports in a bid to de-escalate tensions. China tariffs could come down from their current level of 145% to between 50% and 65%, the paper said, citing a White House official.

"We are going to have a fair deal with China," US President Donald Trump told reporters on Wednesday, but did not address the specifics of the Journal report. His remarks followed optimistic comments he made on Tuesday that a deal to lower tariffs was possible.

The tariff levels outlined in the Journal report would likely still be high enough to deter a significant chunk of trade between the world's two largest economies.
