#USChinaTradeTalks

Markets are now focusing on the crucial talks taking place this weekend between U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Pessen and chief trade negotiator Jamison Greer, and their Chinese counterparts in Switzerland. It is noteworthy that China was excluded from the suspension period for the tariffs imposed by Trump, and is now facing U.S. tariffs of no less than 145%. Beijing has responded by imposing reciprocal tariffs of 125%, raising concerns about escalating trade disputes between the world's two largest economies.
