Top U.S. and Chinese economic officials resumed talks in Stockholm on Monday to resolve longstanding economic disputes at the centre of a trade war between the world's top two economies, aiming to extend a truce by three months.

Analysts said negotiators meeting in Stockholm were likely to agree to another 90-day pause on tariffs and export controls, avoiding further escalation.

Officials from the US and China are in Sweden for a fresh round of talks to extend a 90-day pause on tariffs. President Donald Trump hinted that the US is getting very close to an agreement but offered no details.
