The outcome of these negotiations could impact everything from consumer prices to international supply chains.

As the world awaits further updates, the extended duration of the initial meeting—over 10 hours—demonstrates the complexity of the issues at hand. Both sides appear willing to invest significant time and effort to achieve a breakthrough. The coming days will be critical in determining whether this 'total reset' can lead to lasting change in US-China trade relations.
