Following trade negotiations, the US and China have decided to temporarily reduce tariffs significantly from 125% to 10% on US goods and 145% to 30% on Chinese goods. This temporary accord lasting 90 days serves as a brief economic pause rather than a definitive resolution to the ongoing trade conflict, providing both countries time to navigate their interlinked economies. The market reaction has been positive, and while skepticism remains about the trade war's end, the agreement signals potential for reorganizing global trade dynamics.
The accord takes tariffs on both sides down significantly, from 125% to 10% on US goods flowing to China and from 145% to 30% on Chinese goods flowing to the US.
This is not a resolution; it's a delay of conflict. An economic cease-fire, not a peace treaty.
The fact that the United States and China were able to set up this cooldown at all attests to how intertwined their economies are.
Kudos to the White House for seeing this through - and here's hoping the administration's pragmatists on trade, like Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, win out in the end.
