Trade Talks Between China and U.S. Indicate Potential Progress Amidst Tariff Concerns

U.S. officials report advancements in negotiations with China, signaling possible trade agreement development.


Recent trade talks between the U.S. and China in Geneva have resulted in claims of "substantial progress." However, experts advise cautious optimism regarding outcomes beyond mere discussions.



U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced significant advancements in trade negotiations with China after meetings held over the weekend in Geneva. He stated that an announcement detailing developments would follow soon. Jamieson Greer, the U.S. trade representative, indicated that a certain arrangement to address U.S. national security worries related to China's trade practices might be underway. However, no confirmation was provided regarding the potential elimination of existing tariffs.

On the Chinese side, Vice Premier He Lifeng characterized the talks as “candid, in-depth and constructive.” He asserted that a consensus was reached to create a "consultation mechanism" to resolve economic and trade issues, as reported by state media outlets in China.

Ana Swanson, a trade reporter, highlighted the potential benefits of any reduction in tensions for businesses dependent on U.S.-China trade. Nevertheless, she advised caution in interpreting these developments, suggesting that while a reduction in tariffs could be expected, the outcome may primarily lead to additional meetings rather than definitive actions.

Following the talks, early trading in Japan and South Korea saw a slight uptick in stock prices, reflecting investor optimism amid the negotiations.
