US and China Agree to Establish Trade and Investment Boards Amid Ongoing Tariff Talks

During a recent summit, the US and China agreed to establish trade and investment boards aimed at addressing market access and agricultural concerns. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi noted that working-level teams will finalize details before implementation. While US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer mentioned discussions on tariff reductions for certain goods, President Trump stated tariffs were not discussed during his meeting with Xi Jinping. The agreement follows a previous one-year tariff truce set to expire later this year, with both sides seeking to expand two-way trade under a reciprocal tariff reduction framework.
