US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent anticipates a “pretty big breakthrough” in the next round of trade talks with China, despite ongoing tensions and retaliatory measures. A key moment is expected at the upcoming regional summit in South Korea, where Presidents Donald Trump and Xi Jinping are set to hold a pull-aside meeting. Bessent also highlighted his own negotiations with Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng, marking the fifth round of discussions. While previous talks have been inconclusive, the upcoming engagements could reshape the trajectory of US-China trade relations, especially as the Trump administration moves to support American farmers impacted by reduced Chinese purchases.

Treasury Secretary Bessent's assertion that China cannot be trusted with the global supply chain highlights a significant geopolitical shift. The idea of decoupling gains traction if reliability is compromised, framing this as a global challenge, not solely a bilateral one. #GlobalSupplyChain #Geopolitics #Decoupling

The evolving U.S.–China dynamic continues to shape how global trade and investment flows operate — not just between Washington and Beijing, but across neighboring markets like Mongolia, Vietnam, Canada, and Mexico (amongst many others). Shifts in FX rates, tariffs, and supply chain exposure are now critical variables that determine where capital goes and how companies protect margin and liquidity. The key is strategic flexibility: structuring operations and treasury to adjust to geopolitical shifts before they become financial shocks. #Geopolitics #TradeStrategy #FX #InternationalExpansion #FDI #GlobalBanking #FAOGlobal
US President Trump and Chinese President Xi have reignited tensions that threaten global growth and supply chains — their standoff isn’t just headline risk, it amplifies volatility across China and neighboring markets like Mongolia, Vietnam, Mexico, and Canada. For U.S. headquarters clients expanding abroad, this means intense pressure on capital flows, FX exposures, and partner selection in sensitive regions. At FAO Global, we are uniquely positioned to guide clients through this turbulence — helping them build resilient banking structures, navigate geopolitical risk, and connect with trusted local and regional partners in frontier markets. #Geopolitics #CrossBorderFinance #EmergingMarkets #GlobalBanking #RiskManagement https://lnkd.in/g_Xutf_C

The plan is intended as a stimulus and reset for trade policy, but the international friction could complicate its implementation.
