Kuala Lumpur: The Secretary of State of the United States, Marco Rubio, will meet with his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi on Friday outside a meeting of Foreign Ministers of the ASEAN in Malaysia, said the State Department.
The meeting occurs when Washington and Beijing remain locked in disputes on issues ranging from commerce and fentanyl to Taiwan and advanced technology.
Rubio and Wang are located in Kuala Lumpur for a meeting of foreign ministers of the Southeast Asian Association, which Japan, South Korea and Australia also attend.
The tensions between Washington and Beijing have shot themselves since the president of the United States, Donald Trump, assumed the position in January, and both countries participated in a tariff war that sent duties on the exports of others.
At one time, the United States hit China with additional taxes of 145 percent in their assets, since both parties participated in the TIT climbing per eye. China’s countermeasures on US goods reached 125 percent.
Beijing and Washington agreed in Geneva in May temporarily reduce their surprisingly high rates, a result Trump described as a “total restart.”
