China Foreign Ministry, on Holding Tariff Talks With US: Latest China-U.S. Trade Talks Held at U.S. Request
China Foreign Ministry: US Should Stop Threatening If It Wants A Deal
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer will travel later this week to Switzerland for trade talks with China led by Vice Premier He Lifeng, seeking to de-escalate a tariff standoff that has threatened to hammer both economies.
The travel was announced in statements Tuesday from the Chinese and US governments. It will be the first confirmed trade talks between the countries since President Donald Trump announced punishing levies of as high as 145% on China that were met with retaliatory rates of 125% from Beijing.
