Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated there would be a 90-day pause in escalated tariffs, with both countries agreeing to lower their tariffs by 115 percent, resulting in a 10 percent tariff on both sides. Consequently, Chinese goods entering the U.S. will now face a 30 percent tariff, while American exports to China will be subject to a 10 percent tariff.<\/p>\n<p>Following this agreement, the two nations plan to establish a mechanism for ongoing discussions surrounding economic and trade relations.Bessent expressed optimism for future meetings to build on this deal,which the white House emphasizes as a win for the American populace,especially in addressing the U.S. trade deficit with China,which reached $295.4 billion in 2024.The agreement also includes a commitment from both sides to take action against the flow of fentanyl and other illicit drug precursors from China to North America.Subsequent meetings may occur alternately in the U.S., China, or a third country to further discussions on trade issues.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>The Trump administration announced a major win Monday in its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/how-to-make-china-pay\/\" title=\"How to Make ...
