U.S. and China Hold Key Trade Discussions on Trump Tariffs Ahead of Summit
The United States and China have initiated trade talks aimed at easing tariffs imposed during the TRUMP administration. Chinese Vice-Premier He Lifeng and U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent are leading the discussions in Kuala Lumpur, setting the stage for the upcoming October 30 summit between Presidents Xi Jinping and Donald Trump.
Trade experts anticipate potential temporary rollbacks on tariffs, particularly for U.S. agricultural exports. The talks focus on critical economic and trade issues, though details remain closely guarded. Agricultural trade and regional security are expected to dominate the leaders' meeting later this month.
