Bessent: It Is ‘Implausible’ China Tariffs Go Below 10%

Bessent also addressed the potential for talks between Presidents Donald Trump and Xi Jinping and offered an update on Asia trade negotiations and his outlook for the tax bill and deregulation by the end of the year. He spoke on “Bloomberg Surveillance.”
