Trump Says U.S.–China Trade Meeting Went Well, Awaits Briefing

President Donald Trump said he spoke by phone with Treasury Secretary John Bessent, who reported that U.S. officials held "a very good meeting" with their Chinese counterparts on trade earlier in the day. Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One on 29 July, Trump added that he expects to receive a full briefing on the discussions tomorrow. The president offered no details on the substance of the talks but said the administration would "either approve it or we won’t," indicating that a decision on any potential agreement has not yet been reached. The remarks suggest negotiations are continuing following Washington’s imposition of a 145% tariff on Chinese goods that took effect in April.
