US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Friday that he had a “positive” meeting with his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi at ASEAN talks in Malaysia, where Washington’s prices are focused.
Rubio and Wang met the first face of US President Donald Trump after returning to office when Washington and Beijing are in conflicts from trade to Taiwan.
“I thought it was a very constructive and positive meeting,” Rubio told reporters after an hour -long conversation, but stressed that “it was not a conversation”.
“I think we left it because there are some fields we will be able to work together.”
Rubio also expressed confidence that there would be a meeting between US President Donald Trump and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping.
“Both sides have a strong desire to do this,” Rubio said.
Wang and Rubio have long been in Kuala Lumpur to gather the foreign ministers of the Association of Southeast Asian countries, in which Japan, South Korea and Australia and other countries have been participating.
US officials said before Rubio’s first trip to the region as Secretary of State, Washington is “giving priority” to East and Southeast Asia.
‘Mass loss’
But US prices have shadowed a three -day conference, and Rubio has essentially defended US trade relations with nessesary vast duties.
“If you look at some of these trade deficit, they are widely,” Rubio said at the end of his whirlpool journey.
“Everyone here is a solid leader who thinks it is not sustainable.”
If Trump did not attack the deal with Washington until August 1, Trump has threatened to punish the prices of 20 to 50 percent of more than 20 countries.
According to a joint Communican released on Friday, ASEAN expressed “concern” on revenue, which he described as a “conflicting” and threat to regional growth.
For a long time, US ally Japan has faced 25 % of the board, which is separate from similar charges for cars, steel and aluminum that have already been enforced. Seoul faces similar rates.
Earlier on Friday, Rubio met his Japanese and South Korean counterparts, calling it a “indispensable relationship” by his spokesman, Temy Bruce.
Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, however, said this week that the revenue was being used as “sharp equipment for geopolitical enmity.”
Wang said Thursday that the US tariff drive “is” disrupting the free trade system “.
“The implementation of high taxes on Cambodia and Southeast Asian countries in the United States is an attempt to deprive all sides of the legitimate development rights,” Wang said.
Since Trump took office in January, Washington and Beijing have been facing tensions, with the two countries engaged in a tariff war that has sent out each other’s exports briefly at a sky height.
‘Total reset’
On one occasion, the United States targeted China with 145 % additional levies on its luggage as both sides engaged in an increase in tight tate. China’s response measures on US goods reached 125 %.
Beijing and Washington agreed to temporarily break their amazing high taxes in May – one result was “yesterday’s reset”.
However, there is a deep distrust between the two countries, each other suspects to try to weaken its influence.
US Defense Secretary Pete Hegsit accused China of “preparation for the use of military force to change the balance of power in the Asia -Pacific region in late May”.
He also claimed that Beijing “training every day” to attack Taiwan, which China claims as part of its area.
In response, Chinese diplomats accused the United States of using the Taiwanese case for “China’s China” and called on Washington to stop “playing with fire”.
