US And China Continue Trade Talks As TikTok Deadline Nears. US and Chinese officials are meeting in Spain for a second day of trade talks as the deadline looms for TikTok’s Chinese parent company to sell the app or face a ban in America. Talks are being led by US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng in the latest bid to ease tensions between the world’s two largest economies. The two sides last met in July, agreeing to extend their tariff truce until November 10. The TikTok deadline is set to expire on Wednesday, but expectations are growing that it will be extended for a fourth time. Donald Trump, who once pushed for an outright ban, has repeatedly delayed the decision. Speaking on Sunday, Trump said the app’s fate “depends” on China and suggested national security concerns about TikTok and its owner ByteDance were “highly overrated.” He has since softened his stance, particularly after gaining traction on the platform during the 2024 election.
