\u201cMany things discussed, much agreed to. A total reset negotiated in a friendly, but constructive, manner,\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n

Trump did not elaborate on the progress achieved, nor did U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who is leading the talks in Switzerland. The talks are expected to continue Sunday. <\/p>\n

On Saturday, Bessent and U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson\u00a0Greer met in Geneva with China\u2019s Vice Premier He Lifeng, who is Beijing’s lead negotiator on economic and trade affairs with the U.S. The meeting came after both countries hiked tariffs on each other\u2019s imports, triggering financial mayhem and huge disruptions to global supply chains.<\/p>\n

However, trade experts <\/a>warned that this level of tariffs would still be a major barrier for most companies trading between the two countries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cMany things discussed, much agreed to.
