After months of rising tensions, U.S. and Chinese negotiators have agreed on a “framework” to implement agreements that have been reached on trade, officials said late Tuesday.

Following two days of high-level talks in London, U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick told reporters that “We have reached a framework to implement the Geneva consensus,” referring to previous negotiations last month in Switzerland, in which both countries agreed to a 90-day pause on the harshest tariffs against each other’s imports.
