After two days of talks in Malaysia wrapped up Sunday, a Chinese official said the two sides reached a preliminary consensus on topics including export controls, fentanyl and shipping levies. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Trump’s threat of 100% tariffs on Chinese goods “is effectively off the table” and he expected the Asian nation to make “substantial” soybean purchases as well as offer a deferral on sweeping rare earth controls. Bessent spoke in separate interviews on NBC, CBS and ABC. The US wouldn’t change its export controls directed at China, he added. For more, we heard from Bloomberg’s China Correspondent Minmin Low.
