GENEVA: Talks between the US and Chinese delegations over tariffs that threaten to turn the global economy topsy-turvy ended after a day of prolonged negotiations and will resume on Sunday, a source briefed on the meetings confirmed to CBS News. There was no immediate indication whether any progress was made on Saturday during the more than 10-hour meeting between Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng in Switzerland. The talks, which could help stabilize world markets roiled by the US-China standoff, have been shrouded in secrecy and neither side made comments, as per CBS News. Bessent indicated last week that the initial discussions were likely about “de-escalation, not about the big trade deal.” The Treasury secretary said the US and China have “shared interests” because the sky-high tariffs imposed by both countries last month are not “sustainable.” (ANI)
