Trade talks between the United States and China have begun in Geneva, Switzerland, Chinese state media reported on Saturday, a nascent sign of a thaw in the trade war sparked by President Donald Trump’s massive tariffs.

The president said reducing tariffs to 80 percent from the current 145 percent “sounds right,” as U.S. and Chinese negotiators prepare to meet in Switzerland.

An eighty percent "tariff on China seems right! Up to Scott B," the president posted, seemingly leaving the decision up to his Treasury secretary.
