US EditionUS trade team will meet Chinese officials in two or three months, Bessent says
US and Chinese trade officials plan to meet within 2-3 months after extending a 90-day tariff truce to ease trade tensions, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said.
- Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said US and Chinese officials may meet in the next 2-3 months, but no date has been set.
- Alongside the new 10 per cent base tariff, President Donald Trump imposed 20 per cent tariffs on Chinese imports in February.
- Following the truce extension, trading partners paused duties for 90 days, and Bessent said the US needs "months, if not quarters, if not a year" of fentanyl progress before reducing tariffs.
- Amid the standoff, Washington accuses Beijing of failing to curb precursor chemicals for fentanyl, while Beijing defended its record and accused Washington of using fentanyl to "blackmail" China.
- Next, US trade officials will meet Chinese counterparts within two or three months to discuss future economic ties, Bessent said on Tuesday.
