US President Donald Trump had already announced on Friday that a new round of trade talks with China would kick off in London beginning Monday, after he spoke by phone with Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping in a bid to end a bitter battle over tariffs.
Trump posted on his Truth Social platform that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer would meet the Chinese team.

The discussions will mark the second round of such negotiations between the world's two biggest economies since Trump launched his trade war shortly after returning to the White House in January.
A first meeting, held in mid-May in Geneva, brought a pause to the US-China trade dispute.
But Trump then accused Beijing of not respecting the terms of the de-escalation agreement.
On Thursday the Republican president finally discussed the issues with Xi for the first time since the trade tensions soared, assuring that the conversation had been positive.
Xi for his part told Trump the two should "correct the course" of bilateral relations, according to remarks quoted by official Chinese media.
