Vice Premier of the People’s Republic of China He Lifeng said the meeting “achieved substantial progress and reached important consensus.”
“The two sides agreed on establishing a consultation mechanism for trade and economic issues,” Lifeng said.
China International Trade Representative Li Chenggang suggested that a statement would be coming soon with more details on the negotiations, but did not say when the statement would be released.
“It’s important to understand how quickly we were able to come to agreement, which reflects that perhaps the differences were not so large as maybe thought,” US trade representative Jamieson Greer said.
“We’re confident that the deal we struck with our Chinese partners will help us work toward resolving that national emergency,” he added.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Sunday that the trade talks that took place in Geneva over the weekend were “productive.”
He said the talks yielded “a great deal” of productivity and that he would give more details in a complete briefing on Monday morning.
US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said during remarks on Sunday that the officials reached some form of a “deal,” but did not provide any specifics. He hailed the discussions as “very constructive.”
