US and China Agree on Reciprocal Tariff Cuts Covering $60 Billion in Trade
The US and China have agreed to reduce tariffs on about $30 billion worth of imports from each other, following a summit between Presidents Trump and Xi. The reciprocal tariff cuts cover a wide range of non-sensitive goods, including US agricultural products like corn, wheat, meat, and dairy, though soybeans remain excluded from relief. China’s list includes over 1,600 US products, while the US list contains 77 Chinese product categories such as household items and toys. Both countries will implement reductions after completing domestic procedures and have established a trade council to oversee ongoing cooperation.
