WASHINGTON: US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said he and China’s Vice-Premier He Lifeng are likely to hold talks in Malaysia next weekend as part of efforts to set the stage for a meeting between their countries’ presidents.
Amid renewed trade tensions before US President Donald Trump’s anticipated meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping later this month in South Korea, Bessent spoke online with He.
