WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said on Thursday that trading partners including Japan were continuing to negotiate with the U.S. in good faith, and there has been no change in their attitudes since a U.S. trade court ruled against the Trump administration’s latest tariffs.
But Bessent told Fox News Channel that trade negotiations with China were a bit stalled, but he expected more talks with Chinese officials in coming weeks.
U.S. trading partners “are coming to us in good faith and trying to complete the deals before the 90-day pause ends,” Bessent said. “So we’ve seen no change in their attitude in the past 48 hours. In fact I have a very large Japanese delegation coming to my office first thing tomorrow morning.”
