BEIJING - US TREASURY Secretary Timothy Geithner, aiming to persuade China that its US investments were safe, pledged that the Obama administration was firmly committed to ratcheting down huge deficits as quickly as it can once economic recovery is assured.
'No one is going to be more concerned about future deficits than we are,' he told reporters while en route to Beijing for two days of meetings on Monday and Tuesday with top Chinese officials including President Hu Jintao and Premier Wen Jiabao.
