The U.S. and China have reached an agreement on trade, representatives from both sides said after a second day of high-level talks in London.<\/p>\n

“We have reached a framework to implement the Geneva consensus and the call between the two presidents,” U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick told reporters.<\/p>\n

That echoed comments to reporters from Li Chenggang, China’s international trade representative and a vice minister at China’s Commerce Ministry.<\/p>\n

U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping spoke by phone late last week, stabilizing what had become a fraught relationship with both countries accusing each other of violating the Geneva trade agreement. At a meeting in Switzerland in mid-May, the world’s two largest economies had agreed to a 90-day suspension of reciprocal tariffs added in April, and a rollback of certain other measures.<\/p>\n

Lutnick said he and U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer will head back to Washington, D.C., to “make sure President Trump approves” the framework. If Xi also approves it, then “we will implement the framework,” Lutnick said.<\/p>\n

The fact that the two sides will now brief their leaders “is\u00a0a clear sign that some disagreements or unresolved details still require internal discussion,” said Jianwei Xu, senior economist at Natixis. “‘Agreeing on a framework’ reflects a mutual commitment to de-escalation and continued dialogue, but whether it will lead to concrete agreements or substantive breakthroughs remains uncertain.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
