U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said Tuesday that President Donald Trump will decide if the tariff pause with China continues after two days of talks in Stockholm.
“We’re going to head back to Washington and we’re going to talk with the president if that’s something he wants to do,” Greer told reporters after the talks in Sweden.
Trump said separately from Air Force One that the talks were “very good.” The president said he’d be briefed when Greer and U.S. Commerce Secretary Scott Bessent return to the U.S.
“I just had a phone call from Scott [Bessent], and he had a very good meeting with China,” Trump said. “And it seems that they are going to brief me tomorrow, and we’ll either approve it or not, but he felt very good about the meeting – better than he felt yesterday.”
In May, the two countries agreed to a 90-day deal to reduce high tariffs. Both countries agreed to slash tariffs that had been so high that nearly all trade between the two nations stopped. The U.S. reduced its tariffs on China from 145% to 30% while the two nations continued to talk. China cut its levies on U.S. imports from 125% to 10%. That truce is set to end Aug. 12.
