US President Donald Trump is ready to meet with Chinese leader Xi Jinping and representatives from both countries are working to organize such a meeting, US Treasury Secretary Scott Besant announced, quoted by Reuters, BTA reports.
Besant told CNBC that the US does not want to escalate a conflict with China and does not want to sever trade and economic ties with the world's second-largest economy.
He said that thanks to the trust between Trump and Xi, the trade conflict between the two countries has not escalated further.
