China has invited the United States’ top bankers to a gathering in Beijing to discuss relations between the two countries, amid an impasse with President Donald Trump on trade issues and tariffs.

According to the Financial Times, a roundtable will be held in Beijing on Sept. 16. It will be co-chaired by Zhou Xiaochuan, a former chief of the People’s Bank of China (PBoC), and John Thornton, chairman of the Barrick Gold Corp. and a former Goldman Sachs executive.
