WASHINGTON: A number of influential business groups in the United States are urging the US government to 'restart trade talks with China' and address 'burdensome' tariffs from the US-China trade war, the New York Times has reported.

In a letter to the United States Trade Representative and the Treasury Department, the industry groups asked President Joe Biden's administration to 'cut tariffs on Chinese-made goods that had remained in place after the start of the bruising trade war between the two countries,' said the newspaper on Friday.
