美國財政部長斯科特·貝森特表示，他預計唐納德·特朗普總統與中國的貿易戰“將在不久的將來”有所緩和。
貝森特稱，華盛頓和北京之間高昂的關稅戰是不可持續的。
貝森特本周在世界銀行會議期間，出席了摩根大通在華盛頓舉辦的私人投資者峰會，並發表了講話。
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told investors in a closed-door meeting Tuesday he expects “there will be a de-escalation” in President Donald Trump’s trade war with China in the “very near future,” a person in the room told CNBC.
“No one thinks the current status quo is sustainable” with tariff rates at their current levels, Bessent said at a private investor summit in Washington, D.C., hosted by JPMorgan Chase.
Stocks, already recovering from the prior day’s sell-off, soared higher after Bessent’s remarks were first reported.
Bessent said he believes that the prospect of de-escalation between the economic superpowers “should give the world, the markets, a sigh of relief,” according to the person in the room who was granted anonymity in order to describe a private event.
“We have an embargo now, on both sides, right?” he said.
