US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng will meet in New York on Sunday ahead of the UN General Assembly, according to Reuters. The talks aim to prepare potential agreements on artificial intelligence, tariffs, and critical minerals. The meeting precedes a Trump-Xi summit in Washington this week, with key topics including a trade truce expiring November 10, Chinese rare earth magnet supplies, and possible AI restrictions. US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer will also attend. Analysts expect modest steps demonstrating that both sides are avoiding escalation, rather than major breakthroughs.
