Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Jamieson Greer, the United States Trade Representative, are leading the talks for Washington.

The president has been embroiled in a tense trade war since he raised U.S. tariffs on China to a combined 145 percent earlier this year, which prompted the Beijing to retaliate with a 125 percent levy on American imports.
