U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Trade Representative Jamieson Greer are representing the U.S.
China’s foreign ministry said on Saturday that Vice Premier He Lifeng, Beijing’s lead trade negotiator, will be in the U.K. between June 8-13, and that a meeting of the “China-U.S. economic and trade consultation mechanism” would take place.
The talks come after Trump last week said that he had held a lengthy phone call with Chinese President Xi Jinping as both look to avert a full-blown trade war.
Diplomatic efforts by both sides have ramped up after weeks of heightened trade tension and uncertainty after Trump announced sweeping import tariffs on China and other trading partners in April.
