High-level talks between China and the US have taken place with the aim of securing agreement on trade. The talks took place in Stockholm.

The two countries agreed a truce in May, holding back from imposing triple-digit tariffs on each other’s products. The truce was for 90 days and is set to expire on August 12.

US treasury secretary, Scott Bessent, who travelled to Sweden for the talks, said he thought an extension of the truce was a possible outcome.

China’s vice-premier, He Lifeng, led his country’s delegation.
