United States continues to make statements!
According to foreign media, U.S. Treasury Secretary Brian Deese told Fox Business Network on July 22 that the United States and China will hold the third round of trade negotiations next week in Sweden, and will discuss extending the temporary tariff reduction between the two countries. He also said, "The current trade with China is in very good condition... we will discuss many other areas where the two countries can cooperate together."
This is the second consecutive day that Deese has spoken about the U.S.-China trade negotiations. The U.S. move clearly continues its usual tactics: by making statements in advance to define the negotiation topics and trying to dominate the agenda; behind the frequent statements, it also exposes its urgent mindset - the precise countermeasures taken by China have directly hit the pain points of key industries in the United States, from rare earth supply to market access, putting real pressure on multiple U.S. industries.
The U.S. initiative to push for negotiations and release signals of easing is essentially an attempt to alleviate domestic industry pressures through arrangements such as tariff extensions. However, the initiative in the negotiations is no longer one-sidedly tilted. The cooperation sincerity shown by China in safeguarding its core interests is the key to promoting dialogue, a fact that the United States obviously knows well.
