On July 8, according to a report by the U.S. Bloomberg agency, U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent stated on the 7th local time that he expects to meet with Chinese officials in the coming weeks to promote discussions on trade and other issues between the U.S. and China. "I will meet with my Chinese counterparts at some point in the next few weeks," Bessent said during an interview with the American Consumer News and Business Channel that day. "We had very good talks previously in Geneva and London, and both sides maintained a high level of respect." "If the Chinese side is willing, the U.S. and China can cooperate in more areas," Bessent stated, noting that both sides will discuss expanding the scope of cooperation from trade to other fields.
