Europe EditionUS and Chinese officials start Geneva talks on easing trade war
- U.S. And Chinese officials held talks in Geneva on May 10-11, 2025, to discuss tariffs amid their ongoing trade war.

- The discussions involved Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Trade Representative Jamieson Greer for the U.S., and Vice Premier He Lifeng for China, focusing on tariff rates and trade practices.

- Although President Trump claimed 'great progress' and suggested an '80% tariff seems right,' experts remain skeptical about meaningful breakthroughs from these early talks.
