U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer will meet with China's top economic official later this week in Switzerland, the two U.S. agencies said on Tuesday, marking an initial step in potential negotiations over President Donald Trump's tariff assault.

President Donald Trump’s top trade officials will be holding face-to-face trade talks with a Chinese economic official for the first time since the U.S. imposed punishing tariffs on China and set off a global trade war.
