Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent<\/a> and two other Trump administration officials will meet with their Chinese<\/a> counterparts in London on Monday for renewed trade<\/a> talks, President Donald Trump<\/a> said.<\/p>\n Bessent, who has been leading the administration’s efforts to craft a deal with Beijing, will be joined by Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, Trump said.<\/p>\n “The meeting should go very well,” the president wrote on Truth Social<\/a> on Friday afternoon. “Thank you for your attention to this matter!”<\/p>\n CNBC has contacted the Chinese Embassy in Washington for more information on Trump’s announcement. A spokesperson for the embassy did not immediately reply to a request for comment.<\/p>\n Trump had first revealed that further trade talks were planned after he held a lengthy phone call with Chinese President Xi Jinping<\/a> on Thursday.<\/p>\n The scheduling announcement comes as the U.S. and China have squabbled over numerous issues in the midst of a debilitating trade war that threatens both economic superpowers.<\/p>\n The countries \u2014 whose total trade in goods topped $582 billion<\/a> last year \u2014 temporarily lowered most of the tariffs on each other’s goods after breakthrough bilateral trade talks in Geneva, Switzerland, last month.<\/p>\n But since then, China has repeatedly accused the U.S. of undermining that progress.<\/p>\n Beijing protested after the U.S. Commerce Department warned<\/a> the chip industry against using Chinese semiconductors. China also objected<\/a> to the Trump administration’s recent announcement that it will revoke the visas of some Chinese students studying in the U.S.<\/p>\n The Trump administration, meanwhile, has accused Beijing of slow-walking a pledge made in Geneva to approve the export of additional critical minerals, known as rare earths, to the United States.<\/p>\n Trump wrote after Thursday’s call with Xi, “There should no longer be any questions respecting the complexity of Rare Earth products.” He did not explain what that meant.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and two other Trump administration officials will meet with their Chinese counterparts in London…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":164595,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7757],"tags":[5466,748,3085,3686,32,393,805,4884,14009,257,285,7686,182,1201,16,15,1773],"class_list":{"0":"post-164594","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-london","8":"tag-breaking-news-politics","9":"tag-britain","10":"tag-business-news","11":"tag-donald-j-trump","12":"tag-donald-trump","13":"tag-england","14":"tag-foreign-policy","15":"tag-great-britain","16":"tag-howard-lutnick","17":"tag-london","18":"tag-politics","19":"tag-scott-bessent","20":"tag-social-media","21":"tag-trade","22":"tag-uk","23":"tag-united-kingdom","24":"tag-xi-jinping"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114639879847688010","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/164594","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=164594"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/164594\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/164595"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=164594"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=164594"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=164594"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
