A high-level trade meeting between the United States and China is expected to occur within the next seven days, White House trade adviser Peter Navarro said Friday, following Thursday’s phone call between President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Navarro’s statement marks the first official confirmation of a timeline for follow-up talks since the leaders’ conversation, which aimed to ease mounting tensions over tariffs, export controls, and critical mineral supplies.
The anticipated meeting will bring together senior officials from both sides to continue negotiations on trade terms under the fragile 90-day tariff rollback agreement reached in May. While no concrete outcomes emerged from the Trump–Xi call, the announcement of talks suggests efforts are underway to prevent further escalation in the trade dispute.
Details on the location and participants of the meeting have not yet been released.
