Top US, Chinese trade negotiators meet again ahead of Trump-Xi summit in Washington

Senior US and Chinese trade negotiators met again ahead of a planned summit between President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping in Washington, according to Anadolu Agency.

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the two countries are seeking "strategic stability" in their relationship, while emphasizing that any such stability must be grounded in reciprocity and fairness between the two economies.

The meeting is the latest in a series of negotiations between the two sides as they work toward the upcoming summit, which is expected to address a range of outstanding economic and trade issues between the world's two largest economies.

Details of the specific topics discussed in this latest round of talks were not disclosed. Trade negotiations between Washington and Beijing have historically covered issues including tariffs, market access, and technology restrictions.

The upcoming Trump-Xi summit is being closely watched as a potential milestone in US-China relations, with both governments under pressure to demonstrate progress on economic issues that have strained ties in recent years.
