Jamieson Greer, the U.S. trade representative who joined Bessent for the talks, suggested that some form of a “deal” addressed U.S. national security concerns about China’s trade practices. He did not say whether the two nations had agreed to drop any of their punishing tariffs.

China’s vice premier for economic policy, He Lifeng, described the talks as “candid, in-depth and constructive” and said that the two countries had reached a deal to establish a “consultation mechanism” to discuss economic and trade issues, according to Chinese state media.

Analysis:
</span>
<span>
“Any reduction in tensions is good news for businesses that depend on trade between the U.S. and China,” said my colleague Ana Swanson, who covers trade for The Times. “But I would be cautious about expecting too much from just two days of meetings.” Other than lower tariffs, a possible outcome tomorrow “may just be more meetings,” she added.

Signs of division between Trump and Netanyahu

<p style="font:normal 17px/25px georgia,serif;color:#333;margin:0 0 15px">
<span>
As Trump prepares to visit the Middle East this week for his first major foreign trip, he and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel are showing signs
</span>
<a class="css-sdwaa1" style="color:#286ed0;-webkit-text-decoration:underline;text-decoration:underline">
of a rift that has grown

<span>
In February, they were in sync on issues like the Houthis, Iran and Gaza. Since then, Trump has rejected Netanyahu’s desire for joint action to take out Iran’s nuclear abilities. He also announced a deal with Houthi militias to halt U.S. airstrikes against them, just days after a Houthi missile struck Israel’s main airport.
</span>
</p>
<p style="font:normal 17px/25px georgia,serif;color:#333;margin:0 0 15px">
<span>
There is even some evidence of a divide on Gaza: Trump’s emissaries are still trying to get a deal to stop the war, even though he has largely supported Netanyahu’s conduct in the conflict.
