What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Donald Trump held talks with China’s Xi Jinping covering tariffs and technology between the world's two largest economies. Chinese export curbs on critical minerals and rare earths have caused supply shocks for US and global companies. Trump has reportedly delayed a report on excess capacity and is expected to suspend many tariffs on China, leaving only a 7.5% duty.
