#USChinaTradeTalks Here’s a concise 100‑word summary of the ongoing US–China trade talks:

Senior U.S. officials—Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, and Trade Representative Jamieson Greer—are meeting Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng in London on June 9, building on a 90‑day truce struck in Geneva on May 12 ([reuters.com][1]). The talks focus on reducing steep tariffs, rare‑earth export controls, critical‑minerals access, and cooperation on fentanyl trafficking. Markets showed cautious optimism, with Asia stock rallies and a softening dollar ahead of the session ([wsj.com][2]). While both governments aim to revive the Geneva pact and ease tensions, deeper issues—such as China’s economic model, Taiwan, and tech restrictions—are unlikely to be fully resolved.
