U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Trade Representative Jamieson Greer urged China to implement commitments made in a trade arrangement reached in Busan a year earlier. In a November 6 video call with Vice Premier He Lifeng, they emphasized agricultural purchases, rare earths and other critical minerals, and said progress would be assessed through concrete results.
