High-level officials from the US and China are set to meet in Switzerland this week to initiate formal trade discussions. This meeting marks the first significant dialogue between the two countries since the escalation of the trade war. Key Trump administration officials, including Bessent and Greer, will engage with their Chinese counterparts to address trade and economic issues. The talks are seen as a potential ice-breaker amidst ongoing tensions and tariffs that have affected both nations. In addition, a preliminary meeting may take place in Geneva to kick off negotiations.
