Members of Donald Trump’s cabinet gave conflicting messages on Sunday about whether negotiations with China over tariffs are taking place, as the Republican president has asserted.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said he had interactions with his Chinese counterparts last week during IMF meetings in Washington, but did not discuss the tariff standoff. In a separate television interview, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said the United States was holding daily conversations with China over tariffs. Beijing has denied that any trade talks are occurring.
