(Zero Hedge)—Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping may need to hold a direct phone call to overcome stalled trade talks between the two global economic powers. The talks hit new obstacles late this week, just as the U.S. tightened screws on Beijing by suspending exports of jet engine parts and advanced semiconductor technologies.
“I would say that they are a bit stalled,” Bessent told Fox News’s Bret Baier, referring to U.S.-China trade talks, adding, “I believe we’ll be having more discussions with them in the next few weeks, and I think we may, at some point, see a call between the president and [Communist] Party Chair Xi Jinping.”
Bessent continued, “I think that given the magnitude of the talks, given the complexity, that this is going to require both leaders to weigh in with each other.”
He said both leaders “have a very good relationship, and I am confident that the Chinese will come to the table when President Trump makes his preferences known.”

Stalled trade talks with China come as the U.S. Court of International Trade ruled that the majority of President Trump’s tariffs imposed under emergency power were illegal. However, an appellate court swiftly issued a stay, allowing the tariffs to remain in effect for now. The Supreme Court may ultimately hear the case, and it adds to the growing wave of lawfare waged by activist judges seeking to derail the president’s ‘America First’ agenda ahead of the 2026 midterms.

Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
