Top trade officials from China and the United States have launched a new round of talks aimed at easing tensions over tariffs. U.S.

U.S. President Donald Trump said he had just spoken with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent who told him that he had a very good meeting with Chinese officials in Sweden on Tuesday.

Trump started hiking tariffs on Chinese goods shortly after his return to the White House. China ultimately responded with tariffs of its own. Tensions escalated, with tariff rates hitting the triple digits, before a trade truce in May.
