US and Chinese officials have been holding a first day of talks in Beijing aimed at resolving their damaging trade dispute.

Last year, both countries imposed billions of dollars' worth of tariffs on each other's goods.

The two-day talks mark the first formal meeting since they agreed to refrain from any further tariffs for 90 days.

The meeting comes amid rising concern about the impact of trade tensions on the global economy.

The US delegation is led by Deputy US Trade Representative Jeffrey Gerrish.

So far, neither side has given any indication of how the talks are going.
