US-China trade talks in Geneva end for night, to continue on Sunday: Reuters
- U.S. And Chinese delegations held sensitive tariff talks on Saturday in Geneva's Villa Saladin, lasting over 10 hours and hosted by the Swiss ambassador's residence.
- The talks aimed to de-escalate rising tariffs, which Trump raised last month on China to a combined 145%, provoking Chinese retaliation with levies up to 125%.
- Participants included U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, and Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng, who spoke for the first time in these talks.
- Trump characterized the meeting as a highly positive and productive discussion, noting progress toward a major renegotiation, and indicated that an 80% tariff might be appropriate while also hinting at the possibility of reducing tariffs.
- Although no major breakthrough was announced, experts and officials hope tariff reductions could stabilize global markets and ease economic pressures on companies reliant on U.S.-China trade.
