   WHITE HOUSE -- The White House is signaling it is not seeking to
   further escalate the trade war with Beijing, after the administration
   of President Donald Trump took the mostly symbolic action of declaring
   China a currency manipulator.

   "We have negotiated in good faith, and we want to continue to negotiate
   in good faith with the Chinese," despite disappointment with China's
   negotiators not living up to earlier promises and a lack of progress,
   Larry Kudlow, director of the National Economic Council, told reporters
   on Tuesday.

   "The door is open for additional negotiations," said Kudlow. "We are
   planning for the Chinese team to come here in September" after the
   latest round of talks last week in Shanghai did not achieve a
   breakthrough.
