Breaking Down International Trade Talks: China and USA's Continuing Discussions in London
Diplomats from China and the United States persist in their discussions, which are taking place in London. - Ongoing Dialogues in London: China and the United States Engage in Discussions
Here's a look at the current status and recent developments in the ongoing negotiations between the world's economic heavyweights:
The Current Situation
As per Chinese state media reports, China and USA are still actively engaged in talks in London to try and resolve their trade dispute. No specific time was given, but additional sources suggest that the discussions could take place in the morning (London time).
Key players attended Monday's meeting at Lancaster House in the British capital, including US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng, and Commerce Minister Wang Wentao. The talks revolved around export controls.
The Expected Outcome
As of now, no formal interim results have been officially released. US President Donald Trump's economic advisor, Kevin Hassett, anticipates a swift meeting with a strong handshake. Trump himself has indicated that the USA is prospering with China, professing that he's only receiving positive reports.
Last month, both sides consented in Geneva to a 90-day truce in the tariff war and a substantial reduction in tariffs for goods from each other's country. However, it seems trade sanctions are the primary issue of controversy at this point.
The Contentious Issue: Export Controls and Trade Restrictions
China's export controls on rare earths pose a concern for countries such as Washington. The USA is advocating for easing these controls. In exchange, the USA may ease trade restrictions within areas like computer chips or aircraft components, where China heavily relies on foreign technology.
