HuffPost
Talks have ended for the day between the U.S. treasury secretary and America’s top trade negotiator with high-ranking Chinese officials in Switzerland.
GENEVA (AP) — Sensitive talks between U.S. and Chinese delegations over tariffs that threaten to upend the global economy ended after a day of prolonged negotiations and will resume Sunday, an official told The Associated Press.
Hours after the talks concluded, U.S. President Donald Trump posted on social media that a reset on trade between both countries was being discussed.
“A very good meeting today with China, in Switzerland. Many things discussed, much agreed to. A total reset negotiated in a friendly, but constructive, manner,” Trump wrote. “We want to see, for the good of both China and the U.S., an opening up of China to American business. GREAT PROGRESS MADE!!!”
The meeting lasted over 10 hours and featured Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer and a delegation led by Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng.
The official who spoke to the AP requested anonymity because of the sensitivity of the talks, which could help stabilize world markets roiled by the U.S.-China standoff. The talks have been shrouded in secrecy, and neither side made comments to reporters on the way out.
