China and U.S.: Bridging Gaps Amid Trade Tensions
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi urged the U.S. to collaborate in preparing for high-level interactions. Amid recent trade tensions, discussions are ongoing between the two nations, with a potential Xi-Trump meeting on the horizon. Both sides emphasize resolving conflicts through dialogue.
In a recent phone call, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi communicated to U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio the importance of mutual cooperation in preparing for upcoming high-level engagements. This comes amidst revived trade tensions between the two global powerhouses.
Chinese President Xi Jinping and U.S. President Donald Trump share longstanding mutual respect, according to Wang. An anticipated meeting on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Summit hints at discussions aimed at stabilizing relations, with a White House confirmation of the meeting scheduled for Thursday.
Increasing trade friction, notably China's control over rare earths and U.S. port fee impositions, has escalated tensions. Recently, negotiators met in Malaysia to devise a trade framework, touching on pertinent issues such as soybeans and TikTok. Both nations seek to navigate their relationships through dialogue rather than unilateral pressure.
