Washington eyes ‘very productive’ Trump-Xi meeting this week

U.S. and Chinese negotiators said weekend talks in Malaysia laid a "very successful" framework for a meeting between President Donald Trump and President Xi Jinping later this week in South Korea, aiming to cool trade tensions. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Trade Representative Jamieson Greer described candid, in-depth discussions spanning rare earths, tariffs, port fees, agricultural purchases, TikTok, and fentanyl. Beijing echoed the constructive tone, saying both sides reached basic consensus on addressing concerns and will refine details. Trump, attending the ASEAN summit in Malaysia, voiced confidence a deal could halt tit-for-tat measures and be "great for both."
