He said details would be revealed tomorrow, but the breakthrough will raise hopes of ending the tariff war between the world’s two biggest economies.

Donald Trump has hit China with 145 per cent tariffs, leading them to retaliate with import duties of 125 per cent on most US exports.

Mr Bessent said: “We will be giving details tomorrow, but I can tell you talks were productive.”
