China and US to hold high-level trade talks in Paris before Trump’s Beijing visit

AI Summary

short article 2 min

China and the United States will hold high-level trade talks in Paris at the end of next week, led by Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng and US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. The meeting aims to discuss trade and investment deals, including tariffs, investment, soybeans, and rare earth elements, in preparation for President Trump's upcoming visit to China from March 31 to April 2. These negotiations represent the sixth round of trade talks between the two countries since the US initiated a tariff war in April of the previous year. Previous meetings have resulted in significant tariff reductions. The talks also come after a US Supreme Court ruling struck down some tariffs imposed on Chinese products, creating uncertainty in the US-China trade landscape.
