US, China Trade Talks in Paris Ahead of Trump-Xi Summit

Economic and trade talks between the United States and China have commenced in Paris, according to reports from Xinhua.

Leading the US delegation are Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer. China is represented by Vice Premier He Lifeng.
