Top U.S. and Chinese officials are meeting in Stockholm this week in an effort to extend a temporary tariff freeze and ease mounting economic tensions, according to Bloomberg News.

The talks are scheduled for Monday and Tuesday, with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent representing the U.S. and Vice Premier He Lifeng leading the Chinese delegation, Bloomberg News reported.

The latest meetings mark the third round of face-to-face negotiations between the two sides in just under three months, as China faces an Aug. 12 deadline to secure an agreement before higher tariff rates take effect.
