Top Chinese and U.S. trade officials held high-stakes talks over the weekend to try to ease a trade war that has disrupted global supply chains and triggered concerns of a prolonged economic downturn, with the world watching the outcome closely.
Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer resumed talks in Geneva, Switzerland, shortly after 10 a.m. local time on Sunday, according to Agence France-Presse.
The meeting, the first high-level talks between the world’s two largest economies amid an unprecedented trade war in which both sides have slapped import tariffs above 100 percent, came after eight hours of talks behind closed doors on Saturday.
