High-level delegations from the United States and China are meeting in London to try and shore up a fragile truce in a trade dispute that has roiled the global economy.

A new round of trade negotiations between the United States and China has started in London, with both sides trying to preserve a fragile truce brokered last month.

Trade talks between the US and China will continue into a second day, according to a US official, as the two sides look to ease tensions over shipments of technology and rare earth elements.
