Korea Economic Daily
Summary
- U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Besant reportedly avoided specific comments on whether there are tariff negotiations between the U.S. and China.
- He refused to comment despite repeated questions on the matter.
- This suggests the ongoing instability of the communication channel between the U.S. and China.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Besant avoided a direct answer to the question of whether tariff negotiations between the Trump administration and the Chinese government are underway, saying, "I will not comment in detail on who is talking to whom," during a press briefing on the 29th (local time).
He refused to comment on related questions that were repeatedly asked during the briefing.
This is interpreted as indicating that the communication channel between the U.S. and China remains unstable.
