US, China Economic Chiefs Discuss Final Agenda in Washington a Day Before Summit

The top economic chiefs of the United States and China are holding last-minute negotiations on the agenda a day ahead of the bilateral summit.

According to Reuters, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng are meeting in Washington, D.C., yesterday local time.

This follows their meeting in New York on the 20th to seek preliminary agreements regarding the agenda for the summit, with this second round of talks taking place in Washington, D.C.

Chinese President Xi Jinping is scheduled to arrive in Washington, D.C., late this afternoon and hold a summit with U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House on the 24th.

While the summit is expected to focus on the stable management of U.S.-China relations, some projections suggest that specific agreements, such as an extension of the trade truce, may not be reached.
