London: US and Chinese officials will meet in London on Monday to discuss trade, President Donald Trump said. "I am pleased to announce that Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent, Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, and United States Trade Representative, Ambassador Jamieson Greer, will be meeting in London on Monday, June 9, 2025, with representatives of China, with reference to the Trade Deal," Trump wrote on Truth Social.
