The conversations come after Trump said last week He had held a long call with the Chinese President Xi Jinping Because both avert a full -grown trade war.
The diplomatic efforts of both sides have increased after weeks of increased trade voltage and uncertainty after Trump announced extensive import duties for China and other trading partners in April.
Beijing returned, and there was a Titat-Tat escalation in the duties before both sides agreed in Geneva in May to temporarily lower the tasks for 90 days and to facilitate discussions. At that time, the US tariff for Chinese imports was reduced from 145% to 30%, while Chinese taxes for US imports were reduced from 125% to 10%.
China and the United States have repeatedly accused each other against the Geneva Agreement, with Washington said that Beijing had only slowly approved the export of additional critical minerals in the United States, while China criticized the United States that imposed new restrictions on Chinese students and additional export restrictions on chips.
The American press spokesman Karoline Leavitt said on Sunday that the London talks would concentrate on promoting the Geneva Agreement and determining the strategic interests of the two sides at the otherās markets.

Zhiwei Zhang, President and chief economist of Pinpoint Asset Management, Optimistic that discussions will take place at all, CNBC said that it could take months before trade voltages could be solved.
