A potential extension of a tariff pause between the United States and China will not be agreed to until President Donald Trump signs off on the plan, U.S. negotiators said Tuesday.
The remarks came after top trade officials for the two countries concluded talks in Stockholm, Sweden, their third round of high-level discussions since May.
“We’re going to head back to Washington, D.C. We’re going to talk to the president about whether that’s something that he wants so do,” U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer told reporters after the talks ended.
Trump, speaking to reporters on Air Force One around the same time, said he would get a briefing Wednesday on the status of the negotiations.
“I just had a phone call from [Treasury Secretary] Scott Bessent. They had a very good meeting with China, and it seems that they’re going to brief me tomorrow,” Trump said.
