On Thursday, President Trump announced that the United States has signed a trade agreement with China, potentially bringing an end to the protracted trade war. During his second term, Trump had imposed steep tariffs on Chinese imports, escalating tensions between Washington and Beijing. “Yesterday, we signed a deal with China. We are starting to open China up—something that never really could have happened,” Trump said. The details of the agreement were not disclosed. US and Chinese officials had been working for weeks to finalize the deal, including a meeting in London earlier this month to address tariff disputes.
