Delegations will meet this weekend in Switzerland for the first major talks between the world’s two biggest economies since Trump sparked a tariff war in his second term.

China and the US will hold their first trade talks since President Donald Trump took office and more than a month after the two sides imposed tariffs of more than 100% on each other.
