China and the United States announced a truce in their trade war on Monday after talks in Geneva that will roll back the bulk of tariffs and other countermeasures by Wednesday. The United States is dropping the extra tariffs it imposed on China this year to 30% from 145%,

The agreement lowers tensions in the trade war but does little to change the overall direction of deteriorating ties between Beijing and Washington, analysts say.

The world’s two biggest economies agreed to a 90-day pause on most of their levies after a first round of trade talks in Switzerland over the weekend.
