Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Trade Representative Jamieson Greer will meet Chinese officials, but expectations for a breakthrough in their trade war are low.

Tensions are high between the US and China ahead of a planned trade talk, and the dueling superpowers can't even agree on who initiated the meeting. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Trade Representative Jamieson Greer announced this week that they'll will be meeting with their Chinese counterparts in Switzerland this weekend to discuss US-China trade relations as Trump's heavy tariffs remain in effect and the trade war rages on.

Top US officials and their Chinese counterparts will meet in Switzerland at the weekend to hold trade discussions, boosting hopes for a potential deescalation in the US-China trade war. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and trade representative Jamieson Greer will get round the table with Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng in the most senior-level talks since President Trump's tariff push launched in early April.
