U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent declined to confirm direct tariff negotiations with China, suggesting that Beijing faces severe economic fallout if current trade barriers persist.
Speaking to reporters, Bessent cited potential Chinese job losses in the millions and argued that the U.S. trade deficit puts pressure on China to act.
While avoiding specifics on communications, he hinted at the unsustainable nature of China’s tariff stance.
Beijing denies ongoing talks.
The standoff continues, clouded by diplomatic silence and sharp warnings of economic instability from Washington.

President Donald Trump has announced a major development in U.S.-China trade talks, revealing that China has agreed to “open up” to U.S. businesses and suspend trade barriers. This comes after a high-stakes negotiation involving top U.S. and Chinese officials, resulting in a 90-day pause on most tariffs. Trump highlighted this as a key breakthrough in the discussions led by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Trade Rep. Jamieson Greer. The agreement is expected to ease tensions and create a temporary window for further economic cooperation between the two global powers.

Xi Jinping warns that “bullying” and “hegemonism” in global trade will backfire, criticizing U.S. trade policies. Speaking at a Latin American summit in Beijing, Xi emphasized that no one wins in a tariff war, advocating for unity and cooperation. His comments follow a temporary truce in the U.S.-China trade conflict, where both nations agreed to significantly reduce tariffs. With China scaling back levies on U.S. imports and the U.S. agreeing to lower tariffs on Chinese goods, Xi framed China as a defender of free trade and global fairness.

China has issued a stern warning to the United States, urging Washington to “stop smearing and shifting the blame” over the ongoing fentanyl crisis. Despite a recently announced 90-day tariff reduction deal, tensions remain high as Beijing calls U.S. fentanyl-related policies unreasonable and harmful to bilateral cooperation. China reiterated that it does not bear responsibility for America’s opioid epidemic and called for respectful, equal, and constructive dialogue moving forward. While U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer insists efforts will continue, Beijing's frustration could derail further negotiations.

As U.S. trade tensions mount, China is strengthening its grip on Latin America. At the China-CELAC Forum in Beijing, leaders from across the region gathered, with many deepening their commitment to China’s Belt and Road Initiative. With two-thirds of Latin American countries already on board, China has become the top trading partner for major economies like Brazil and Peru. Meanwhile, Trump's tariff threats and warnings over the Panama Canal have driven mistrust. China now positions itself as the reliable partner Latin America can count on.
