Bessent sets stage for Xi visit in high-level China talk

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer held a high-level video call with China's vice premier to prepare for the September visit of its president, Xi Jinping, Axios has learned.Why it matters: The call sets the stage for President Trump and Xi to sign future trade deals between the U.S. and China. But there are tensions.Zoom in: The cordial video conference call between Bessent, Grier and Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng lasted more than an hour."I emphasized that we expect Beijing to fully meet its commitments on rare earths and U.S. agricultural products," Bessent told Axios in a written statement."We also discussed implementation of the Trade and Investment Boards as a mechanism to secure concrete progress toward a more balanced, fair, and constructive U.S.-China economic relationship."Between the lines: One source familiar with the talks said that "over the past several months, China adopted or relied upon measures that create new risks for U.S. firms, restrict lawful commercial activity, and seek to deter lawful U.S. national security actions.""This is problematic," the source said. "The U.S. has raised these concerns repeatedly within their trade and economic channel and provided China time to reverse course, but China has continued to escalate and cause chaos."China's continued escalations will have consequences."Zoom out: Relations between the two countries have been tense amid the battle for AI supremacy. Trump has sought to limit China from obtaining advanced computer microchips, and Xi threatened to withhold critical minerals needed for advanced computer and weapons technology.At a meeting in Beijing, Trump and Xi appeared to put differences behind them but signed no new deals.But this week, the Trump administration announced plans to ban Chinese robots and power inverters as national security threats.Adding a new layer of complexity is the Iran war. China is an Iranian ally and, according to Reuters, plans to sell shoulder-fired missiles to Iran. Trump said he would be "disappointed" if the sale went through.Earlier this month, Trump released once-classified documents indicating China meddled in the 2020 election. He then expressed hesitation about pushing the issue with Xi."They do things and we do things to them. I'll be honest. We do things to them too," Trump told reporters last week. "It's not a one-way street. But we'll be talking to them, yes."

Rebellion against 'oblivious' Trump tanks Dow in worst day of the year

Many critics anticipated that when President Donald Trump appointed Kevin Warsh as chairman of the Federal Reserve, he was getting a hack who would follow Trump’s order to cut rates regardless of the explosive consequences.On Wednesday, that’s not what happened — and Trump is likely stewing.“[Warsh’s] hard line on inflation must have … surprised Warsh’s patron, President Trump,” argued American Prospect co-founder Robert Kuttner.The Federal Reserve refused to lower interest rates from its current target range of 3.5 to 3.75 percent for short-term rates. Worse for Trump, the vote of the whole fed was 9-to-3, with three regional bank presidents voting to raise the target range for the federal funds rate by a quarter percentage point. Kuttner said this was the first time since 2016 that three officials dissented in the same direction.“The split vote signals that the Fed, despite President Trump’s wishes for a rate cut, is likely to vote for a rate hike between now and the November midterms. That’s because several factors, some of them of Trump’s own making, are increasing inflation, including the Iran war and retail price increases resulting from Trump’s tariffs,” said Kuttner.The decision to keep rates steady “tanked the Dow,” according to CNN anchor Kasie Hunt, delivering “the worst trading day for more than year.”But if Trump is stomping around the White House right now he only has himself to blame, said Kuttner.“Our impulsive and oblivious president is not good at connecting dots. One set of Trump policies raises inflation, while Trump pressures the Fed to ignore the problem and cut interest rates,” said Kuttner. “In his report to Congress on July 15, Kevin Warsh … surprised many observers by ignoring the Fed’s ‘dual mandate’ to pursue both price stability and high employment. In fact, Warsh had said, “The members of our [Federal Open Market] Committee have no tolerance for persistently elevated inflation. And we share a resolute commitment to restoring price stability.”Plus, Kuttner said Warsh made no mention at all of employment, implying Trump should have seen this coming.“Bonds are under pressure because of the massive increases in the federal debt under Trump, compounded by a lot of borrowing for the AI bubble and data center build-out. In many respects, these signals are a more important factor in Fed thinking than the month-to-month inflation rate,” Kuttner said. Worse for Trump, there are two more meetings of the policy-setting Federal Open Market Committee between now and November, when Trump’s voters are likely to show Trump how unhappy they are with his economy. And the challenge facing the Fed is that the widely expected rate hike won’t even be able to act fast enough to fix what’s broken about Trump’s economy.“And since the inflation is not the result of overheated demand but of the impact of the Iran war and Trump’s tariffs, higher rates will not moderate these prices,” said Kuttner. “But leaving rates alone would signal an indulgence of inflation that Warsh and his colleagues want to avoid.”
