The US and China will hold high-level economic talks from June 8-13, with the main aim of easing trade tensions

The US Treasury and Commerce Secretaries, along with a trade representative, will attend meetings with China during Vice Premier He Lifeng's visit to the UK. The meeting comes after a phone call between Trump and Xi Jinping in which they agreed to ease trade tensions.
