Your guide to what Trump’s second term means for Washington, business and the world
Donald Trump said a new high-level round of trade talks between the US and China would take place on Monday in London, as Washington and Beijing move quickly to try to stabilise their fraught economic relations.
The US president announced details of the negotiations a day after a phone call with Chinese President Xi Jinping during which the two leaders agreed to try to ease the trade war that has been shaking financial markets.
“I am pleased to announce that Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent, Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, and United States Trade Representative, Ambassador Jamieson Greer, will be meeting in London on Monday, June 9, 2025, with Representatives of China, with reference to the Trade Deal,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post on Friday.
“The meeting should go very well. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
