The United States said it made ‘progress’ towards an agreement with China
The secretary of the Treasury, Scott Besent, said yesterday that the United States had made “substantial progress” in the conversations with China after a weekend of meetings in Geneva, and that today more details will be announced.
Jamieson Greer, the United States commercial representative who joined Besent for conversations, suggested that some “agreement” approached the national security of the United States on China’s commercial practices. He did not say if the two nations had agreed to drop any of their punishment rates.
China’s viceprimer Minister of Economic Policy, Lifeng, described conversations as “sincere, deep and constructive” and said the two countries had reached an agreement to establish a “consultation mechanism” to discuss economic and commercial problems, according to Chinese state media.
Analysis: “Any reduction in tensions is good news for companies that defend themselves in trade between the United States and China,” said my colleague Ana Swanson, who covers trade for times. “But it would be cautious for waiting too much of only two days of meetings.” In addition to the lowest rates, a possible result tomorrow “can be more meetings,” he added.
India and Pakistan kept the fire stop
The fragile truce between India and Pakistan seemed to be largely in its yesterday, on its first full day. Both countries claimed to have won the four -day conflict that had participated.
After some initial fighting on Saturday, President Trump later announced that both parties had agreed to a high fire with the help of US mediation. He added that it would increase the trade “substantially” with both country and work with them to solve their coffee dispute.

Signs of division between Trump and Netanyahu
While Trump prepares to visit the Middle East this week for his first important foreign trip, he and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu or Israel are showing signs of a crack that has grown since April.
In February, they were synchronized by issues such as Houthis, Iran and Gaza. Since then, Trump has rejected Joint Netyahu’s desire to get Iran’s nuclear skills. He also announced an agreement with the Huti militias to stop US air attacks against them, a few days after an Huthi missile hit Israel’s main airport.
There is also some evidence of a division in Gaza: Trump’s emissaries are still trying to reach an agreement to stop the war, just although it has greatly supported Netanyahu’s behavior in the conflict.
Hamas: The Palestinian armed group said it would free Edan Alexander, the last American citizen living in Captive in Gaza.
