A White House official

  • Trump will announce actions he has decided to take based on US Treasury's 301 investigation into China trade
  • On Thursday

more to come ... maybe ... if not I guess we await the announcement Thursday US time

Oh ... timing of the announcement? I don't know at this stage but have heard one speculation it'll be after the stock market closes (i.e. after 4pm NY time, 2000GMT)
