Yellen

U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has pushed back on Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's proposals of high tariffs on allies and rivals, calling such moves "deeply misguided" weeks before the Nov. 5 election.

Her remarks delivered in New York come as Trump vows to impose across-the-board levies on U.S. imports, with a particularly high tariff level on Chinese goods.

The United States and China have agreed to hold "intensive exchanges on balanced growth", the U.S. Treasury Department said in a statement, after two days of talks between Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and her Chinese counterpart He Lifeng in Guangzhou.

U.S. Treasury Chief Janet Yellen called on Friday for a "level playing field" between American and Chinese companies, telling officials during a visit to southern China that Beijing's industrial subsidies threatened that balance.

Four years after his last trip to China in November 2019, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis is visiting again. A lot has changed in the interim. The Covid-19 pandemic dramatically influenced relations between the West and China. Both sides are now in a delicate process of reducing dependencies - to the extent this is feasible in a globalized world.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has said that her talks with top Chinese officials have helped put ties on "surer footing," as she wrapped up a trip aimed at stabilizing fraught relations between the two biggest economies.

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen on Sunday said she agreed Washington will listen to Chinese complaints about security-related curbs on U.S. technology exports and might "respond to unintended consequences" as she ended a visit to Beijing aimed at reviving strained relations.

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen is set to visit Beijing this week, the United States said on July 2, marking the second trip by a cabinet official to China since ties between the world's top two economies deteriorated earlier this year.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said in an interview that aired on June 28 she hopes to travel to China to "reestablish contact" with Beijing despite differences between the two countries.

Turkish Treasury and Finance Minister Lütfi Elvan and U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen on July 9 met on the sidelines of a G20 meeting in Venice.

"We held a very fruitful meeting [with Yellen] for the improvement of our economic and trade ties," Elvan wrote on Twitter amid the G20 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors meeting.

A strengthening U.S. economy will warrant continued interest rate increases, Fed chair Janet Yellen said on Nov. 29 in remarks prepared for delivery to Congress, but she did not comment on the timing of when the next one might occur.
