US and China officials meet in Stockholm to discuss how to ease trade tensions
STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN, JUL 29 – The U.S. and China aim to extend a 90-day tariff truce to prevent tariffs from reverting to triple-digit levels and support potential talks between Presidents Trump and Xi, officials said.
- According to the South China Morning Post report, U.S.-China Business Council leaders will visit China this week, led by FedEx CEO Rajesh Subramaniam and including Boeing executives and USCBC President Sean Stein.
- Amid looming August 12 tariff deadline, Stockholm talks beginning July 28, 2025, follow meetings in Geneva and London to extend a 90-day tariff pause, SCMP reported.
- Among the issues discussed, Beijing is poised to demand removal of the 20% fentanyl-related tariff during Stockholm talks, SCMP reported.
- SCMP reported that without an extension by August 12, tariffs could revert to triple-digit levels, but extending the deadline by another 90 days could avert this.
- Businesses will look for clues, as analysts say the talks could prompt a meeting between President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping later this year.
