The United States and China have agreed to extend their trade truce by two months, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Wednesday, as Chinese President Xi Jinping arrived in the United States for talks with President Donald Trump.
The agreement, previously scheduled to expire in November, will remain in effect through Jan. 10. Bessent described the arrangement as an extension of the countries’ “economic détente” and said Beijing still needed to fulfill additional commitments under the deal.
China also confirmed that it had held its first talks with the United States on artificial intelligence. The confirmation came hours before Xi was scheduled to begin discussions with Trump. Chinese officials also indicated that an extension of the trade truce could be forthcoming before Bessent announced the two-month agreement.
Further details about the AI discussions and the outstanding trade commitments were not disclosed.
