Trump announces delegation for London trade talks with China

President Donald Trump on Friday announced the members of the U.S. delegation that would lead the renewed trade talks with China, following his phone call with Chinese President Xi Jinping.

"I am pleased to announce that Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent, Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, and United States Trade Representative, Ambassador Jamieson Greer, will be meeting in London on Monday, June 9, 2025, with Representatives of China, with reference to the Trade Deal," he posted on Truth Social. "The meeting should go very well. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"

Trump, this week, spoke with Xi amid ongoing tensions between both nations over tariffs. Trump announced the talks themselves after the phone call, which he insisted "resulted in a very positive conclusion for both Countries."

"During the conversation, President Xi graciously invited the First Lady and me to visit China, and I reciprocated. As Presidents of two Great Nations, this is something that we both look forward to doing. The conversation was focused almost entirely on TRADE," he added at the time.

As of yet, neither party has confirmed a planned trip to the other's country.
