after Trump tariffs
GENEVA
The United States and China wrapped up the first day of high-stakes trade talks in Geneva on Saturday, their first face-to-face meeting since President Donald Trump imposed a fresh wave of steep tariffs on Chinese imports. The closed-door discussions, held at the Swiss ambassador’s residence, come as both sides signal a cautious willingness to de-escalate one of the most severe trade stand-offs in recent years. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Trade Representative Jamieson Greer met with Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng for the first such negotiations between the world’s two largest economies since Trump slapped steep new levies on China last month.
