Investing.com-- U.S. President Donald Trump has indicated his willingness to travel to China for direct talks with President Xi Jinping on foreign policy and economic issues.
In an interview aired Friday on Fox News’s "Special Report with Bret Baier," Trump responded affirmatively when asked about the possibility of such a diplomatic trip.
This development comes amid a temporary easing of trade tensions between the two nations.
On May 12, the U.S. and China agreed to a 90-day tariff pause, reducing U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports from 145% to 30%, while China lowered its duties on U.S. goods from 125% to 10% .
Despite this truce, underlying issues persist, and the trade environment remains strained.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in televised interviews on Sunday that President Donald Trump plans to move forward with the previously threatened tariffs on trade partners who fail to engage in "good faith" negotiations.
