The talks come after Trump said last week that He had made a lengthy phone call with Chinese President Xi Jinping Both are also looking to avoid a complete commercial war.

Diplomatic efforts by both sides increased after weeks of increasing trade tension and uncertainty after Trump announced the tariff for importing in China and other commercial partners in April.

Beijing took revenge, and the escalation of the dream in the duties that followed before the agreement of both sides in Geneva in May to temporarily reduce duties and facilitate talks. At that time, the US tariff for Chinese imports was reduced from 145 % to 30 %, while Chinese fees on American imports were reduced from 125 % to 10 %.

The US press secretary Caroline Levitte said on Sunday that the London talks will focus on moving forward in the Geneva Agreement, noting the strategic interests of the two sides in each other’s markets.
