Sept 3 (Reuters) - ‌The ​United ​States and China are set ‌to make some announcements on ⁠agriculture and non-tariff barriers ‌during a visit ‌by Chinese President Xi Jinping to Washington this ​month, U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer ⁠said on Thursday.

"We're not looking for ​a giant comprehensive trade agreement with China. ​We're looking to ‌manage this relationship," he said in ⁠an interview on Fox News show "Special Report ⁠with Bret Baier."

"When President Xi ​comes, we expect that we will probably have some more ‌announcements on agriculture and non-tariff barriers ‌related to agriculture ⁠to incentivize ‌American sales ​into China," he said.
