US and China Agree on Reciprocal $60 Billion Tariff Reduction Framework
Following a summit between Presidents Donald Trump and Xi Jinping, the US and China agreed to reduce tariffs on about $30 billion worth of imports from each other, covering a combined $60 billion in trade. The reciprocal tariff cuts focus on non-sensitive goods, including US agricultural products like corn, wheat, meat, and dairy, though soybeans remain excluded from relief. Both countries will implement reductions simultaneously after completing domestic procedures and have established a trade council to oversee ongoing cooperation and market access discussions.
