Chinese and U.S. trade officials were heading into a second day of meetings in the Swedish capital Tuesday to try to break a logjam over tariffs that have skewed the pivotal commercial ties between the world's two largest economies.

US and Chinese officials resumed critical trade talks in Stockholm on Tuesday, aiming to de-escalate a mounting economic standoff.
