BEIJING, March 15, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - Officials from China and the United States met for trade talks in Paris on Sunday, China's state news agency Xinhua said. China's state broadcaster CCTV said the talks were being held at the OECD headquarters in Paris. China and the United States fought a bruising trade war for much of 2025, with reciprocal tariffs reaching triple digits at one point and export restrictions threatening to wreck global supply chains for critical minerals. The Paris gathering, which is due to last two days, is seen as setting the stage for Trump's expected visit to China later this month. Washington has said Trump will visit China from March 31 to April 2, although Beijing has yet to confirm those dates in line with its usual practice.
