00:00Meanwhile, trade talks between the US and China have stalled,

00:04just two weeks after Treasury Secretary Scott Besson brokered a temporary truce in the trade war.

00:10Besson told Fox News that progress has slowed, but he expects more talks in the coming weeks,

00:16possibly even direct talks between US President Donald Trump and China's Premier Xi Jinping soon.

00:22The 90-day pause on tariffs had sparked a global market rally, but momentum has faded.

00:28Since then, Washington has shifted focus to trade talks with other major trading partners.

00:34Besson says countries like Japan are negotiating in good faith with a delegation heading to Washington tomorrow,

00:41undeterred by the recent trade court ruling.

00:43On Wednesday, a US trade court ruled that Trump exceeded his authority in imposing most of its tariffs.

00:50But within a day, a federal appeals court reinstated them,

00:53temporarily halting that ruling while the government appeals.
