美国财政部长斯科特·贝森特表示，他预计唐纳德·特朗普总统与中国的贸易战“将在不久的将来”有所缓和。
贝森特称，华盛顿和北京之间高昂的关税战是不可持续的。
贝森特本周在世界银行会议期间，出席了摩根大通在华盛顿举办的私人投资者峰会，并发表了讲话。
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.
