Bloomberg Businessweek Daily: US-China Meeting Planned
Watch Carol and Tim LIVE every day on YouTube: US and Chinese negotiators will resume trade talks on June 9 in London, President Donald Trump announced, as the world's two largest economies look to resolve a simmering dispute over tariffs and technology that has unnerved markets. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer will meet Monday 'with Representatives of China, with reference to the Trade Deal,' Trump posted Friday on social media. 'The meeting should go very well.' The new round of talks follow a 90-minute call between Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping on Thursday that saw the two agree to defuse growing tensions spurred by concerns over the flow of critical minerals needed by American firms. Earlier talks between the two countries in Switzerland in May resulted in a tariff truce between Beijing and Washington that set the stage for further talks on trade. But negotiations between the rivals stalled after the Geneva meeting, with both sides accusing the other of violating the agreement that brought down duties from massive highs.

Japan and the US have not yet reached a consensus on a trade deal to revisit sweeping US tariffs, he said after the fifth round of trade talks that included US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick. The negotiations come a week before Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba is set to depart for the G7 in what he said could be a 'milestone' for the talks.
