China US agree to tariff cuts

China-US Trade Agreement

The United States and China have reached a significant trade agreement, with both countries agreeing to reduce tariffs on $30 billion of goods. The tariff reductions will apply to a range of products, including US exports such as agricultural goods, wood, and cosmetics, as well as US imports including small appliances, toys, and decorations, according to a White House statement. The agreement was announced following a three-day summit between President Xi Jinping and President Donald Trump in Washington.

Artificial Intelligence Dialogue

In addition to the trade agreement, the two countries have also agreed to launch a dialogue on artificial intelligence. The dialogue will focus on the risks and benefits of AI, with the next round of discussions set for November, as stated by the Chinese Foreign Ministry and the White House. The two sides will also set up a communication channel for AI-related incidents.

Trade Council and Extended Talks

The Chinese Foreign Ministry has announced that a trade council will be established, and the outcomes of earlier talks in Kuala Lumpur will be extended. The agreement follows a move by the world's two largest economies to extend by two months a trade truce that had been due to expire on November 10, allowing more time to work on a potentially bigger trade deal, according to US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.
