Market Chatter: China to Roll back Non-tariff Barriers, Trump Says

MT Newswires Live05-13

US President Donald Trump said Beijing agreed to remove non-tariff barriers on American goods, marking a de-escalation of the trade war between China and the US, Bloomberg News reported Monday.

Following talks in Geneva, both nations will reduce tariffs, with US rates dropping to 30% from 145%, and China tariffs to 10% from 125%, according to the report.

Trump said more progress could follow and hinted at speaking with Chinese President Xi Jinping soon, Bloomberg wrote. However, Trump warned that tariffs could rise again if no deal is reached within 90 days.

Specific details on China's concessions remain unclear, according to the report.
