US and China Negotiate $30 Billion Tariff Cut to Extend Trade Truce
🌐 Geopolitics Sep 16, 12:27 AM EDT 7/5
The two nations are seeking the removal of duties on agricultural and energy exports from the US and specific Chinese inputs used by American manufacturers. These talks precede a meeting between President Donald Trump and President Xi Jinping in Washington on Sept. 24, with discussions targeting roughly $30 billion worth of trade.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent will meet Chinese official He Lifeng in New York to advance these negotiations. This diplomatic meeting serves as a precursor to the leaders' summit next week, where both sides aim to solidify an extension to the trade truce.
