U.S. and China extend Busan economic truce until January 10
The United States and China have reached an agreement to extend the Busan agreement, an economic truce designed to mitigate trade tensions, until January 10. The extension provides additional time for both nations to explore further economic cooperation and address outstanding issues.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced the decision following a 12-hour meeting in New York with Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng. The extension comes as Chinese President Xi Jinping arrives in Washington for an official visit and meeting with President Donald Trump.
The original truce was scheduled to expire on November 10. The Busan agreement, established last year, involved Washington suspending new tariffs on Chinese products while Beijing halted new export restrictions on critical minerals and rare earth elements. Beyond trade, the ongoing summit discussions are expected to cover artificial intelligence competition and security concerns regarding Taiwan.
