The U.S.-China trade talks resumed in London on June 9, 2025, aiming to ease tensions and address critical issues like rare earth exports and technology restrictions. This follows a preliminary agreement in Geneva that reduced tariffs between the two nations, with the U.S. lowering tariffs from 145% to 30% and China from 125% to 10% for 90 days. Despite this truce, China's exports to the U.S. declined by 35% in the past month, highlighting ongoing challenges. The London talks involve key officials: U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, and U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, alongside Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng. While optimism exists, analysts suggest that substantial reforms may not emerge immediately .([barrons.com][1], [peoplesdispatch.org][2], [kfgo.com][3], [washingtonpost.com][4])
