US Treasury's Bessent says Trump will decide whether to extend trade talks past the July 9 deadline. "We'll follow the president's lead," he told CNBC, adding it's up to him to judge negotiation sincerity. Bessent met EU trade reps Thursday, with US Trade Rep Greer working through the weekend. No deal yet with Japan, possibly due to domestic politics. For Vietnam, he said a deal is "agreed in principle," with Trump's 20% tariff as the core, not stacking on the 10% general rate.
