The weekend meeting is on the House record
Bessent told the House Financial Services Committee he had had some very good private discussions with China and looked forward to those continuing this weekend when he met his Chinese counterpart. He did not give a date or venue. The South China Morning Post reported that Xi is due in Washington for a bilateral summit with President Donald Trump; Beijing has not confirmed the visit date. The National said Washington last month broadened secondary sanctions aimed at businesses and countries that still transact with Iran. Bessent said the effort to isolate Iran's economy would continue into the state visit.[1]
