US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Trade Representative Jamieson Greer will lead the US delegation, President Donald Trump announced Friday.
“The meeting should go very well,“ Trump said in a post on his Truth Social platform.
While the government of UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer reiterated that it was not involved in the content of the discussions in any way, a spokesperson said: “We are a nation that champions free trade.”
'Correcting the course'
Trump said that call, which took place on Thursday, had reached a “very positive conclusion.”
The call came after tensions between the world's two biggest economies had soared, with Trump accusing Beijing of violating a tariff de-escalation deal reached in Geneva in mid-May.
In April, Trump introduced sweeping worldwide tariffs that targeted China most heavily.
Then in Switzerland, after two days of talks, the two sides agreed to slash their staggeringly high tariffs for 90 days.
'Green channel'
On Thursday, Beijing turned to Canada, with the two sides agreeing to regularize their channels of communication after a period of strained ties.
Beijing proposed establishing a “green channel” to ease the export of rare earths to the European Union, and fast-tracking approval of some export licenses.
China is expected to host a summit with the EU in July, marking 50 years since Beijing and Brussels established diplomatic ties.
