US, China Begin Negotiation on Easing Trade War
In a significant diplomatic meeting, China’s Vice Premier He Lifeng and U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent convened early Saturday in Geneva, Switzerland, signaling a tentative yet hopeful step towards easing the ongoing trade war that has been straining the global economy. According to reports from China’s state-run news agency and several sources closely linked to the negotiations, this meeting marks a crucial moment amid escalating tensions that have seen tariffs on imports between the two economic powerhouses soaring past 100 percent.
The backdrop of these discussions is a protracted trade dispute that has disrupted supply chains and unsettled financial markets. The cumulative effect of the tariff war has not only impacted China and the United States but has also raised alarms about a potential global recession. President Donald Trump has been vocal about his stance on tariffs, recently suggesting that an 80 percent tariff on Chinese goods "seems right," offering a provocative alternative to the existing 145 percent levies currently imposed on Chinese imports.
As these two nations engage in dialogue, the focus will be on finding a way to alleviate the burdens of these tariffs that have plagued international trade and cooperation. The outcomes of this meeting could play a critical role in stabilizing the economic relationship between the U.S. and China, which remains vital for the global market’s health. Both sides face mounting pressure to find common ground, not just for their own economies, but for countries around the world that have felt the ripple effects of this trade war.
Looking ahead, the world will be watching closely as negotiators work to turn this initial meeting into a framework for ongoing discussions aimed at resolving this complex economic conflict.

Might as well leave it where it's at, the damage is already done. Even a small semblance of stability is better than screwing around with tariff rates again.
Thats the west narratives. China dont give a flying F.
The "humble" Chinese have sure been gorging on a great serving of superiority delusion. Good luck with that with Trump.
So they're going to de-escalate what Trump escalated? What's the point of tariffs if they aren't to force companies to come back to America? I guess it's just gonna be a revenue generator so they can give tax cuts to the rich
Never forget about the Mcvirus folks!
Wow a lot of ChinaJoe bots below.
So brainwash
Trump cop-out! Why did he retreat on China when he had them by the balls! Won’t vote forTrump or Vance again 😎🇺🇸
They will never stop the war
The U.S. hasn't got a leg to stand on in this one!
Xi Jinping Expands his Christian Crackdown in China
The numbers on factory closures and layoffs in China tell a different story.
trump is going to bow down to xi the same way carney bowed down to trump. You can't punish China, they build everything you own.
Commit to Making America Safer, Stronger, and More Prosperous. Thanks
cmon china
Reduce to 50%
Trump cam change
Any time
Liars 😅 talking
If Trump opens trade talks with China, he is reviving Chinese "lupine or wolfish diplomacy." No trade talks with China means to destroy CCP, Trump should know that.
China surrendered
I want to visit China some day. Seems like an interesting place to visit.
lol what China was begging us for a deal? lol wow the Chinese media is lying to there people I see.
Trump continues to make China 🇨🇳 great instead of make America great
你东西买不出去对你没有影响? 你能把你的产品当饭吃吗? 美国人拿着钱,打不了多花点而已。
You can’t even tell the fact that US is the bully?
Lol …. Trump folds…… I was bluffing
Wow, that stylish Chinese lady absolutely NAILED IT. Summed up the whole situation + Trump's persona perfectly!
Seriously feel for us Canadians tho. Trudeau was so quick to jump when Trump said so, no questions asked. Our relationship with China? Tanked. It wasn't even that bad before, now it's ice cold. 🥶 And our economy's suffered big time. Why'd he throw Canadians under the bus just to be cannon fodder in Trump's trade war?? SMH. What was he thinking?! 🍁
This time I will stand on China's side. Trump is not only a bully but he also changes his minds so quickly. He is so unpredictable.
No "De-escalation" either they start working on a deal right-away, or the Tarrifs continue. America is DONE playing-games with this Corrupt Communist Regime
Where is the negotiating with Canada?? We and the Chinese are the only suckers not getting a deal.
It will be a long process. Americans will suffer high prices for everything until Trump definitely back down. The world already BOYCOTTING America except UK.
China won the trade war! Trump and his cronies chickened out!🤣🤣🤣
gee…I wonder who got us into this mess?
Reality Check: Sun Tzu silence over The Apprentice's blather.

Just drag it out for 2 months. Let Trump feel the heat.
US Propaganda
Global News 🤣
Hang on for another 30 days, huge turmoil in China, CCP won’t last much longer. The people are turning on Xi
Now the US is begging 😂😂😂
trade war is one stage of going war, easing trade war being equivalent to cover the insider is not one good idea
Thanks but we have enough junk from china.
Love how a Chinese national is telling us about being American.
China should demand all tariffs be removed before talks can begin.
Using liberal talking points
