“We discussed a wide variety of issues, from the rare earth, from the rare earth magnets to trade, to substantial purchases of American agricultural products, to the Chinese helping us in this fentanyl crisis that we have in the U.S., Bessent said later Sunday in an interview with CBS’s “Face the Nation”<\/a> program. “I believe that the Chinese will be making substantial purchases again” of American soybeans, he added.<\/p>\n

Beijing described the two days of talks by Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng and chief international trade negotiator Li Chenggang with Bessent and Greer as \u201ccandid, in-depth and constructive,\u201d according to a Chinese Commerce Ministry statement<\/a> on Sunday. <\/p>\n

The talks focused on issues including the Trump administration\u2019s imposition earlier this month of\u00a0new port fees<\/a>\u00a0targeting Chinese cargo ships, an extension of the Nov. 10 deadline suspending a return to triple-digit reciprocal tariffs, export controls and Washington\u2019s fentanyl tariffs imposed in February, the statement said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe current turbulences and twists and turns<\/a> are the ones that we do not wish to see,\u201d Li told reporters, adding that a stable China-U.S. trade and economic relationship is good for both countries and the rest of the world, Bloomberg reported<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The Commerce Ministry readout indicated that the two days of talks created a foundation for a successful meeting<\/a> between Trump and Xi later this week in South Korea.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey reached a basic consensus on arrangements to address their respective concerns,\u201d the statement said. \u201cBoth sides agreed to further refine specific details<\/a> and complete their respective domestic approval procedures.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
