US, China hail 'substantial progress' after trade talks in Geneva

25 Sept 05:09 Key points summarised by AI

US and China officials reported "substantial progress" after two days of trade talks in Geneva, aiming to de-escalate tensions sparked by President Trump's tariffs.
Both nations described the discussions as productive and constructive, agreeing to establish a joint mechanism for ongoing communication on trade and commercial issues.
These meetings were the first face-to-face trade talks since the imposition of steep tariffs, with the World Trade Organization welcoming the progress as vital for global stability.
While encouraging, experts caution that the "devil will be in the details" of any future agreement, as significant tariff rates could still halve bilateral trade.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
