Senior US and Chinese officials meet in Geneva on Saturday in a bid to de-escalate a trade war sparked by President Donald Trump's sweeping tariff rollout and further fueled by Beijing's robust retaliation.
GENEVA:
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer conferred with Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng in the first such talks between the world's two largest economies since Trump slapped steep new levies on China last month.
The closed-door discussions began at mid-morning on Saturday and were due to continue Sunday at the residence of the Swiss ambassador to the United Nations in Geneva.
And after a break at around lunchtime, the delegations returned to the discrete villa with sky blue shutters near a large parc on the left bank of Lake Geneva, according to AFP journalists on site.
