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.

The ongoing negotiations reflect broader tensions in global trade, with the US also pressuring the EU, Canada, and others for new agreements.
