Bessent declined to specify which countries the U.S. might secure trade agreements with this week, stating that doing so could harm U.S. interests.

Some trade negotiations are significantly advanced and nearing agreements in principle.

Talks with China are scheduled to begin Saturday in Switzerland. However, Trump trade adviser Peter Navarro will not participate in the Geneva discussions.

Saturday’s talks with China represent an initial step, not advanced negotiations.

Investor demand for Treasuries remains strong, as seen in recent auctions.

It is time for China to graduate from its developing country classification.

The United States will always honor its debt obligations.

Many existing bank capital requirements may be excessively stringent.
