Washington, D.C. – President Donald J. Trump has confirmed that the United States and China will resume direct, high-level trade negotiations next week—marking another bold move in Trump’s relentless push to protect American jobs, manufacturing, and economic sovereignty.
In a post shared Friday on Truth Social, President Trump revealed that top U.S. officials will meet with senior Chinese representatives in London on Monday to revisit and strengthen the framework of the current U.S.-China trade agreement.
“The meeting should go very well,” Trump stated confidently.
Trump’s America-First Trade Strategy Back in Action
Tensions between Washington and Beijing have remained high ever since President Trump took decisive action to rebalance the global playing field. His administration imposed tough tariffs on Chinese imports, which peaked at 145%, forcing China to the table after years of unfair trade practices.
In an earlier round of negotiations in Geneva, both sides agreed to a temporary tariff rollback to 30%, a result many saw as a strategic win for American industry. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent represented the Trump administration in those talks.
Now, Secretary Bessent will be joined by Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and U.S. Trade Representative Ambassador Jamieson Greer for the next phase of talks. According to President Trump, the focus will remain squarely on achieving economic fairness and long-term trade stability.
Trump and Xi Jinping: A “Very Positive” Call
The announcement followed a 90-minute phone call between President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping. Trump characterized the conversation as highly constructive and noted that it concluded on a positive note for both nations.
Trump wrote on Truth Social:
“I recently had a productive phone conversation with President Xi of China, where we discussed key details of the trade agreement we finalized. The discussion made it clear that any uncertainty surrounding the complexities of rare earth materials should now be resolved.”
He emphasized that the call focused entirely on trade, with no discussion of other global conflicts such as Ukraine or Iran.
A Diplomatic Invitation and a Renewed Focus on American Strength
In a noteworthy diplomatic exchange, President Xi extended an invitation for President Trump and the First Lady to visit China—an offer that Trump graciously accepted, reinforcing the growing seriousness of the ongoing negotiations.
“Our respective teams will be meeting shortly,” Trump confirmed, naming Bessent, Lutnick, and Greer as the lead negotiators.
For many conservatives and working Americans, these talks represent a renewed commitment to American strength, economic independence, and real leadership on the world stage.
Why It Matters
As China continues to exert control over critical exports like rare earth minerals and attempts to influence global trade policy, President Trump’s America First approach is once again putting U.S. interests front and center.
The upcoming talks in London are expected to tackle:
- Tariff enforcement and violations
- Rare earth export controls
- Steel and aluminum pricing protections
- Intellectual property and supply chain resilience
Bottom Line
With President Trump back at the helm of America’s trade strategy, the message to Beijing is crystal clear: America will not be bullied. The upcoming London talks mark a pivotal moment in the global economy—and another step in President Trump’s mission to restore fairness, prosperity, and strength to the American people.
