Top US officials and their Chinese counterparts will meet in Switzerland at the weekend to hold trade discussions, boosting hopes for a potential deescalation in the US-China trade war. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and trade representative Jamieson Greer will get round the table with Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng in the most senior-level talks since President Trump's tariff push launched in early April.

Delegations will meet this weekend in Switzerland for the first major talks between the world’s two biggest economies since Trump sparked a tariff war in his second term.

China and the US will hold their first trade talks since President Donald Trump took office and more than a month after the two sides imposed tariffs of more than 100% on each other.
