 US-China trade talks begin in Paris, setting stage for Trump-Xi summit  U.S. and Chinese officials began high-level trade talks in Paris on Sunday, setting the stage for President Donald Trump’s upcoming visit to Beijing to meet Chinese leader Xi Jinping in about two weeks. The delegations are led by U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng. While the White House has announced Trump’s visit for March 31 to April 2, Beijing has not yet confirmed the dates. Bessent emphasized that the U.S. team aims to secure outcomes that prioritize American farmers, workers, and businesses. Over the two-day talks, the delegations will focus on trade and economic issues of mutual concern.

 Central Bank of Libya Resumes Operations After Release Of Director


The Libya’s Central Bank (CBL) has resumed its operations after an abducted bank official was released.


CBL announced in a statement that it would resume operations, citing the release and safe return of Musab Msallem, its head of information technology.


Msallem was abducted on Sunday morning by an “unknown party” and this prompted the Central Bank to halt all operations pending his release.


The kidnap occurred a week after armed men attacked the central bank’s headquarters in Tripoli.


Reports say the primary motive behind the attack was to force the resignation of the Central Bank, Seddik al-Kabir whom have been in office since 2012.


Kabir has been scrutinised, even by individuals associated with Prime Minister Abdulhamid Dbeibah, for the way Libya’s oil resources and the state budget are being handled.


The central bank is the only internationally recognised depository for Libyan oil revenues, which provide vital economic income for a country torn for years by conflict between two rival governments in Tripoli and Benghazi.
