Agi: Dazi, colloqui Usa-Cina in Corea del Sud
AGI - Il vice primo ministro della Cina, He Lifeng, terrà colloqui commerciali con funzionari Usa in Corea del Sud la prossima settimana in vista del previsto vertice tra i leader Xi Jinping e Donald Trump. Lo riportano media statali cinesi secondo i quali le due parti si incontreranno martedì e mercoledì per "consultazioni su questioni commerciali di interesse comune".
Il ministero del Commercio cinese in un comunicato ha poi annunciato che il vice primo ministro, He Lifeng, il massimo funzionario economico di Pechino, parteciperà a "consultazioni su questioni economiche e commerciali di interesse comune" in Corea del Sud martedì e mercoledì della prossima settimana.
Il messaggio di Bessent
Il segretario del Tesoro statunitense, Scott Bessent, in un post su X ha scritto: "Mercoledì farò tappa a Seul per un colloquio con il Vice Primo Ministro cinese He Lifeng, prima di proseguire per Pechino per il Vertice dei Leader tra il Presidente Trump e il Presidente Xi".
Il vertice Trump-Xi
Trump si appresta a visitare la Cina per un vertice di alto livello con Xi, in cui i leader delle due maggiori economie mondiali dovrebbero concentrarsi sull'allentamento delle tensioni commerciali e su Taiwan, con la guerra in Medio Oriente che incombe sullo sfondo.
Dazi e tregua commerciale
Mentre Washington e Pechino si sono imposte reciprocamente dazi sulle esportazioni un anno fa, Trump e Xi hanno concordato una tregua commerciale di un anno durante il loro incontro di ottobre in Corea del Sud.
I negoziatori chiave
Sia Trump sia Bessent sono stati i principali negoziatori per Cina e Stati Uniti su tutte le questioni commerciali ed economiche. È probabile che i colloqui mettano a punto gli ultimi dettagli sugli annunci che verranno fatti durante il vertice Trump-Xi.
Le tappe in Giappone
Bessent aveva inoltre affermato che martedì avrebbe avuto colloqui preliminari a Tokyo con il Primo Ministro giapponese Sanae Takaichi e il Ministro delle Finanze Satsuki Katayama, insieme ad altri rappresentanti del settore pubblico e privato.
Sicurezza economica
"La sicurezza economica è sicurezza nazionale e non vedo l'ora di partecipare a una serie di incontri proficui per promuovere l'agenda economica 'America First' del Presidente Trump", ha dichiarato Bessent.
Tariffs, talks US-China in South Korea
AGI - Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng will hold commercial talks with US officials in South Korea next week ahead of the anticipated summit between leaders Xi Jinping and Donald Trump. This is reported by Chinese state media, according to which the two sides will meet on Tuesday and Wednesday to “consult on matters of mutual interest.”
The Chinese Ministry of Commerce subsequently announced that Vice Premier He Lifeng, Beijing’s top economic official, will participate in “consultations on economic and trade issues of mutual interest” in South Korea on Tuesday and Wednesday of next week.
Bessent’s Message
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent wrote on X: “I will be in Seoul on Wednesday to meet with Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng, before continuing to Beijing for the Leaders Summit between the President Trump and the President Xi.”
The Trump-Xi Summit
Trump is preparing to visit China for a high-level summit with Xi, where the leaders of the world’s two largest economies are expected to focus on easing trade tensions and on Taiwan, with the war in the Middle East looming in the background.
Tariffs and Trade Truce
While Washington and Beijing had imposed tariffs on each other’s exports a year ago, Trump and Xi agreed to a one-year trade truce during their October meeting in South Korea.
Key Negotiators
Both Trump and Bessent were the main negotiators for China and the United States on all trade and economic issues. The talks are likely to fine-tune the details of announcements that will be made during the Trump-Xi summit.
Steps in Japan
Bessent had also stated that he would have preliminary talks on Tuesday with Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi and Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama, along with other representatives from the public and private sectors.
Economic Security
“Economic security is national security and I look forward to participating in a series of fruitful meetings to promote President Trump’s ‘America First’ economic agenda,” Bessent said.
