United States Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced that the US is open to extending its current trade truce with China or pursuing an even larger trade agreement. The development follows a series of discussions between Bessent and Chinese Vice-Premier He Lifeng, leading to a two-month extension of the existing trade agreement until January 10.
The extension provides both nations with additional time to evaluate China's compliance with previous trade commitments. Furthermore, upcoming discussions between US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping are scheduled to address artificial intelligence (AI) alongside broader economic matters.
