The United States and China held the first official meeting of their Board of Trade, the Office of the United States Trade Representative said Friday in a post on X. The US Department of the Treasury was also present at the talks. The two sides have now put the framework into motion months after agreeing to create it.
The USTR framed the sit-down as an opening, not a finish line. The Trump administration, it said, looks forward to continuing engagement with China to establish fair and balanced trade between the two largest economies in the world. No agenda items or outcomes from the meeting were disclosed.
The Washington-Beijing Board of Trade was agreed upon and established during President Donald Trump's visit to China in May. Its purpose is to optimize bilateral trade in non-sensitive products, keeping the two economies talking on the goods both sides can live with.
