China has agreed to the first major talks with the US since Donald Trump imposed sweeping tariffs and launched a global trade war.
Scott Bessent, the US treasury secretary, and Jamieson Greer, the US trade representative, will meet with their counterparts in Geneva this weekend.
It is a move Mr Bessent has described as a “de-escalation” amid growing market worry over the impact of the tariffs on the world economy, and working Americans.
