Speaking at an event sponsored by London-based Chatham House, Mr Lighthizer said: 'I don't know what the end goal is. Right now we need to stop an aggressive force.'
'We have to figure out new rules - what phase one is, is an attempt to find those kinds of rules - and these are setting aside all the aggression in India and in Hong Kong,' he said.
