U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng met again on the morning of September 23, Washington time, with Bessent stating the meeting aimed to address "unfinished business from Sunday." The two sides had previously agreed in closed-door talks on Sunday (September 20) to exclude "non-sensitive" goods from future tariff actions. Chinese President Xi Jinping is scheduled to arrive in Washington on the same day for his second summit this year with U.S. President Donald Trump, where topics including tariffs, AI safety, and the Taiwan issue will be discussed.
