During an interview with Fox News Tuesday night, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent revealed Chinese and U.S. officials will meet in Switzerland this weekend to discuss current trade policy. 

“The world has been coming to the U.S. and China has been the missing piece. I was going to be in Switzerland to negotiate with the Swiss. Turns out, the Chinese team is traveling through Europe and they will be in Switzerland also. So, we will meet on Saturday and Sunday. And look, we have shared interests. This isn’t sustainable, as I’ve said before, especially on the Chinese side,” Bessent said. “We don’t want to decouple; what we want is fair trade.”
