Trade deficit focus called misleading

As scores of US and Chinese experts gathered on Monday in Des Moines to discuss the countries' relationship, they agree that it will benefit the two countries and the whole world for them to continue to work together.

Several scholars exchanged their views on issues including trade imbalance at a one-day think tank symposium at The World Food Prize Foundation.

At the symposium, Tori Whiting of the Heritage Foundation said that the Trump administration's focus on the trade deficit is misleading.
