The US and China are set to hold another round of trade negotiations in Stockholm next week, with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent signaling that the looming August tariff deadline will likely be extended. The Trump administration is prioritizing the quality of trade agreements over rushing to meet the deadline, using the threat of steep tariffs as leverage to secure better terms. Talks may also expand to cover sensitive issues like China's purchases of Russian and Iranian oil. While some tariffs on other countries are still expected to take effect on August 1, the US is showing flexibility with China in hopes of reaching a more comprehensive deal. The ongoing negotiations reflect broader tensions in global trade, with the US also pressuring the EU, Canada, and others for new agreements.
