If you’re looking for insights into what Trump’s potential second term means for Washington, business, and the world, look no further than the White House Watch newsletter. This newsletter provides a comprehensive guide to the latest developments in the US-China trade war, offering expert analysis and predictions for the future.

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent recently made headlines with his comments on the trade war between the US and China. Speaking at a private conference hosted by JPMorgan in Washington, Bessent warned that the current situation was “not sustainable” and that both countries would need to de-escalate their dispute. Despite his optimism for a potential deal in the “very near future,” Bessent acknowledged that negotiations with China would be challenging.

The trade war between the US and China has escalated in recent months, with President Donald Trump imposing tariffs on Chinese goods and Beijing retaliating in kind. Bessent emphasized the need for de-escalation, stating that the current tariff levels were unsustainable. He pointed out that shipping container bookings had declined significantly and stressed that the goal was not to completely decouple the two economies.

Following Bessent’s remarks, financial markets responded positively, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite both posting gains. However, despite growing pressure from other countries, the US and China have yet to engage in substantive trade talks. Beijing has pushed back against Trump’s tactics, labeling them as bullying and refusing to give in to US demands.

In response to Bessent’s comments, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt expressed confidence in the administration’s approach to a potential trade deal with China. Trump himself reiterated his commitment to reaching a deal with China and hinted at possible tariff reductions in the near future.

While Trump remains optimistic about the prospect of a trade agreement, there are no immediate signs of negotiations between the US and China. Beijing is hesitant to engage in talks until key details of a potential agreement are ironed out. Trump’s preference for direct communication with President Xi Jinping has not yet materialized, leaving the future of US-China trade relations uncertain.
