“I think we have really gone to a new level with China, in which it is very constructive and (…) we will be able to do many things now that trade has settled at a good level,” Besent said.
The Swedish prime minister, Ulf Kristerson, confirmed in a publication in the social network X that Sweden will host the commercial conversations between Washington and Beijing earlier next week.
“It is positive that both countries want to meet in Sweden to seek mutual understanding,” he said.
The China Embassy in Washington did not immediately respond to a request for comments to confirm the planned meetings and Chinese participants.
Since mid -May, Besent has gathered twice with the Vice Primer Chinese Minister, He Lifeng, in Geneva and London, to prepare and perfect a temporary commercial truce that reduces the retaliation tariffs of three -digits that threatened to cut all the trade between the two largest economies in the world.
The United States Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, the Secretary of Commerce, Howard Lutnick, Chinese Minister Wang Wentao, and the Chief Commercial Negotiator, Li Chenggang, also participated in those conversations.
