In what could mark a major breakthrough in the protracted US-China trade war, top officials from both countries are scheduled to meet this weekend in Switzerland for high-level talks aimed at reducing mounting tariffs and easing global economic tensions.
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Washington’s lead trade negotiator Jamieson Greer will hold discussions with China’s Vice Premier and chief economic strategist, He Lifeng. This will be the first face-to-face engagement between senior officials of both nations since US Senator Steve Daines met Chinese Premier Li Qiang in Beijing in March.
