According to rumors, the Republican and Chinese President Xi Jinping are considering extending a trade truce that halted a tariff escalation last year
US President Donald Trump will travel to China from March 31 to April 2, the White House said this Friday, 20. According to rumors, the Republican and Chinese President Xi Jinping are considering extending a trade truce that interrupted a tariff escalation last year.
The visit would be the first face-to-face conversation since an October meeting in South Korea, where Trump agreed to reduce tariffs on China in exchange for Beijing’s commitment to crack down on the illicit fentanyl trade.
The proximity of the meeting also takes place in light of the American Supreme Court’s overturning of the tariffs imposed by the Republican based on the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).
