A high-stakes diplomatic meeting is set to take place between the U.S. Treasury secretary and China’s vice-premier as tensions simmer over the approaching one-year anniversary of a fragile trade war truce. With both sides facing economic pressures and shifting global trade dynamics, the discussions could determine whether the temporary ceasefire holds or escalates into renewed tariffs and retaliatory measures. Analysts warn that the expiration of the agreement may expose lingering disputes, particularly over market access and industrial policies, raising concerns about potential disruptions to global supply chains. The outcome of these talks will be closely watched as they could signal broader shifts in U.S.-China economic relations.
