WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The White House on Tuesday urged China to take more steps to allow its yuan currency to strengthen.
"We believe that more must be done. That is an opinion that is held, not just by this country, but by many countries around the world," White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said.
Chinese President Hu Jintao arrives in Washington later on Tuesday for a state visit with U.S. President Barack Obama that will cover currency and trade issues as well as security issues such as North Korea and military-to-military ties.
Pressed on whether there would be announcements of commercial deals to coincide with the visit, Gibbs replied: "I have not been told of any big deals that will be rolled out tomorrow. I'm certainly all ears if anything happens."
