Scott Bessent describes U.S.-China trade talks as robust, focusing on economic shifts without discussing TikTok.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Tuesday said U.S.-China trade talks were "far reaching, robust and highly satisfactory," but the future of the short video app TikTok as well as the movement of Taiwan officials did not come up.
Bessent, speaking after two days of bilateral talks between the world's two largest economies in Stockholm, also told CNBC in an interview that U.S. officials urged China to shift their economy toward a consumer-based model rather than manufacturing.
