US and Chinese officials start Geneva talks on easing trade war

  • U.S. and Chinese officials met in Geneva on May 31, 2025, to begin talks aimed at easing the trade war between the two countries.
  • The talks follow a trade war triggered by U.S. tariff increases on April 2, 2024, and China's retaliatory tariffs, with tensions fueled by unmet commitments and economic pressures.
  • The U.S. delegation included Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, while China was represented by Vice Premier He Lifeng, with discussions lasting over 10 hours.
  • President Trump stated that an '80% tariff seems right' and suggested lowering tariffs could benefit both nations, while experts expressed skepticism about significant breakthroughs.
  • The talks raised cautious hopes for a tariff reduction and stabilization of global markets but implied a long road ahead due to unresolved economic and political challenges.
