US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Sunday suggested “considerable development” talks between US China top monetary officers to de-escalate a harmful trade battle, but provided no details of an agreement reached as days of negotiations wrapped up in Geneva.
Bessent advised journalists that information would be introduced on Monday and that US President Donald Trump was fully privy to the effects of the “development talks.”
US China Talks on Trade Deals
US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, who participated in the talks with Bessent, Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng and two Chinese vice ministers, defined the conclusion as “a deal we struck with our Chinese partners” a good way to help reduce the $1.2 trillion US global items alternate deficit.
“And this was, as the Secretary talked about, a good day. It’s vital to understand how quickly we were able to come to a settlement, which shows that perhaps the differences were not so big as maybe concept,” Greer said, adding that the Chinese officials have been “hard negotiators.”
Face to Face meeting for development plan
The meeting was the first face-to-face interaction among Bessent, Greer and He because the world’s largest economies imposed price lists well above 100 per cent on every different’s goods.
Although Bessent has said the bilateral tariffs have been too high and had to come down in a de-escalation flow, he did not provide any details of the reductions agreed and took no questions from reporters. Earlier, White House financial adviser Kevin Hassett said the Chinese have been “very, very keen” to have interaction in US China discussions and rebalance trade relations with the USA.
Hassett also told Fox News that more foreign trade deals could be coming with other nations as soon as this week. Overnight, Trump gave a study of the talks, saying the 2 aspects had negotiated “a total reset… In a friendly, however good, way.”
