The post Both sides on reciprocal tariffs will move down 115% appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is speaking at the scheduled briefing on the first round of high-level US-China trade talks held over the weekend in Geneva, Switzerland. Key quotes We have reached an agreement on a 90-day pause and substantially moved down tariff levels. Both sides on reciprocal tariffs will move down 115%. Very good personal interaction, both sides represented national interests well. Neither side wants a decoupling. Neither side wants the equivalent of a trade embargo. We would like to see China more open to US goods. We think there is a possibility of purchase agreements to bring bilateral trade deficit into balance. We look forward to very good discussions now that we have the Geneva mechanism for talks. There was no discussion on currency.
