US-China trade truce extended to January amid Trump-Xi summit FAST-MOVING
U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has indicated an agreement to extend the current trade truce with China until January 10. This extension follows a meeting between Bessent and Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng in Washington.
The extension aims to provide more time to negotiate economic measures, specifically involving the suspension of certain U.S. tariffs in exchange for a stable supply of rare earth minerals from China. While an agreement on the extension has been reached at the departmental level, the final decision is expected to be confirmed during the summit between President Donald Trump and President Xi Jinping.
President Trump met President Xi at Andrews Air Force Base to begin a two-day visit. The summit comes amid significant economic challenges in China and domestic political pressures in the United States. The agenda is expected to cover trade, artificial intelligence, and economic stability.
