Top US trade officials will meet with Chinese counterparts in Switzerland for the first time since the trade war escalated. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Trade Representative Jamieson Greer will discuss tariffs and potential de-escalation with Vice-Premier He Lifeng. The talks follow significant tariffs imposed by the US and their impact on both economies, with concerns about a recession in the US and declining factory activity in China. Experts see this meeting as a crucial step towards unwinding tariffs, though progress may be slow.
