The United States and China have reached a preliminary deal on a range of trade issues, representatives from both sides said on Oct. 26, after two days of negotiations in Malaysia.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said that a “very substantial framework” was established with Chinese trade negotiators in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, that would avoid additional 100 percent tariffs on Chinese products.
