Trade discussions between the United States and China will take place on Monday in London, said US President Donald Trump on his Truth Social network.
These talks aim to reach an “agreement” between the two world trade giants, Trump said in a post published on Friday evening.
The American delegation to this meeting would be made up of the Secretary of the Treasury, Scott Bessent, the Secretary of Commerce, Howard Lutnick and the Trade Representative, Jamieson Greer, said the tenant of the White House.
It would be the second meeting between Americans and Chinese since the re-election of Trump, after a first in Geneva in mid-May, which made it possible to temporarily end the trade war engaged between the two economic powers.
Consequently, customs duties on Chinese products were reduced from 145% to 30%, in exchange for a similar decision by Beijing, from 125% to 10% on American products, for a period of 90 days.
The chief of the US executive had a telephone call on Thursday with his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, for the first time since the start of trade tensions. This conversation was concluded in “very positive way”, according to Trump.
For his part, Xi Jinping asked his American counterpart, during their exchange, to “straighten the trajectory of the great ship of Sino-American relations”, according to words relayed by the China Nouvelle agency.
