On Saturday, senior officials from Washington and Beijing concluded the first day of trade talks in Geneva, Switzerland. The president has been embroiled in a tense trade war since he raised U.S. tariffs on China to a combined 145 percent earlier this year, which prompted the Beijing to retaliate with a 125 percent levy on American imports.

The U.S. and China on Sunday resumed crucial tariff talks that have put the global economy on edge, but appeared to have diverging views of where the negotiations presently stand. U.S. President Donald Trump wrote on social media that “great progress” was being made and even suggested a “total reset” was a possibility as the sides took their seats for the second and final scheduled day of discussions in Geneva.
