U.S. Trade Representative Greer indicated that the upcoming meeting between former President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping in May will focus on maintaining stability rather than escalating tensions.
Greer emphasized that the United States is "not looking for a massive confrontation" with China, noting that the current relationship between the two economic powers remains stable despite ongoing trade disputes and geopolitical differences.
"We have a stable relationship with China, and our goal is to build on that foundation through constructive dialogue," Greer stated.
The May meeting is expected to address key trade issues, including tariffs, intellectual property protections, and market access, as both nations navigate complex economic interdependence. Analysts suggest the discussions could set the tone for future bilateral engagements, with a focus on pragmatic solutions rather than ideological clashes.
