US EditionAn uneasy US-China détente on tariffs
- On Monday in Geneva, US and Chinese representatives agreed to a 90-day truce reducing tariffs on imports between the two countries.
- The truce followed weekend negotiations and comes after the US imposed tariffs up to 145% and China up to 125%, which sharply reduced trade and harmed markets.
- During the pause, the US will cut tariffs on Chinese goods to 30%, while China will reduce theirs to 10%, with negotiations planned to address structural trade issues.
- Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent called the 145% US tariff an embargo, and market reactions included sharp rises due to hopes of easing tensions.
- Despite the truce, concerns about a lasting resolution and continuing economic impacts remain, highlighting congressional calls to reclaim trade policy control.
