China, US begin third round of trade talks in Swedish capital
Officials from the world’s two largest economies have entered the venue for their third set of trade negotiations
Top economic officials from China and the United States have begun their third round of trade talks in Stockholm.
Media from both countries – as well as Japan’s Kyodo News, France’s AFP and several Swedish outlets – began gathering in front of the building early Monday morning, where the Chinese and American flags were raised.
Swedish authorities had blocked off the area surrounding the building for security reasons and swept the area for explosives, prompting questions about the commotion from passersby to the assembled police officers and journalists.
As with past rounds in Geneva and London, the negotiations are expected to run multiple days.
