# China says it will seek to “strengthen cooperation” with the United States at next week’s trade talks in Stockholm. Washington and Beijing slapped escalating, tit-for-tat levies on each other’s exports earlier this year, stalling trade between the world’s two biggest economies as tensions surged. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says he would meet his Chinese counterparts in Stockholm next week for tariff talks. The third round of high-level negotiations would see a likely postponement of a mid-August deadline for levies to snap back to steeper levels.
