TALKS continued in Switzerland between China and the United States today, to see if an agreement was possible to end the tariff war launched by US President Donald Trump.

The talks, led by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on the US side and Vice-Premier He Lifeng on the Chinese, began on Saturday in Geneva.

Mr Trump raised US tariffs on China to a combined 145 per cent last month, before China retaliated with a 125 per cent levy.
