WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said on Tuesday that he will meet his Chinese counterpart next week and discuss what is likely to be an extension of an August 12 deadline for higher tariffs.
Bessent told Fox Business that trade with China was in “a very good place” and the meetings in Stockholm would take place next Monday and Tuesday.
“I think we’ve actually moved to a new level with China, where it’s very constructive and very we’re able – we’re going to be able – to get a lot of things done now that trade has kind of settled in at a good level,” Bessent said
