Delegations from the United States and China resumed direct talks on Saturday, May 10, 2025, in Geneva, Switzerland. The meeting aims to de-escalate the ongoing trade war between the two nations. Discussions took place at the residence of the Swiss Ambassador to the UN, Jürg Lauber.
The US delegation is led by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Trade Representative Jamieson Greer. China's delegation is headed by Vice Premier He Lifeng. The talks follow a period of heightened trade tensions, with both countries imposing significant tariffs on each other's goods.
China enters the negotiations with recent data showing an 8% increase in exports in April, contrasting with a 21% decrease for the United States in the same period. President Trump indicated willingness to lower tariffs on Chinese goods to 80%.
