💨 Abstract

Chinese and U.S. trade officials in Stockholm are in crucial talks to resolve tariff disputes affecting their significant commercial ties. After initial five-hour talks, officials from both nations and Sweden reconvened to discuss various issues, including market access and tech exports. Despite tensions, the negotiations are described as constructive, aiming to at least extend current tariff levels lower than earlier proposed rates. Key topics also include Chinese investments in the U.S., fentanyl components, and petroleum purchases from Russia and Iran.
