- On May 10, 2025, U.S. Representatives such as Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Trade Representative Jamieson Greer held discussions in Geneva with their Chinese counterparts to address the persistent trade disputes and tariff issues between the two nations.
- The meeting followed a trade war sparked by U.S. Tariff increases to a combined 145% on Chinese imports in April 2025 and China's retaliatory 125% tariffs on U.S. Goods, with both sides maintaining high economic and political stakes.

- The discussions indicate a possible tariff reduction to help stabilize global markets, but major concessions and a broad trade agreement remain uncertain amid complex economic and political challenges.
