China, US agree to AI dialogue, tariff cuts on $30 billion in goods during Xi visit
Tariff cuts on $30 billion of goods in each direction mark the clearest US-China breakthrough, as both sides also launch AI talks and an incident channel.
China and the United States have reached an agreement to reduce tariffs on $30 billion worth of goods from each other, according to a White House statement. The reductions will affect various US exports, including agricultural goods, wood, and cosmetics, as well as US imports such as small appliances, toys, and decorations. Additionally, both countries agreed to initiate a dialogue on artificial intelligence (AI), though President Donald Trump expressed reservations about collaborating with China in this field due to the US currently leading in AI technology.
The talks came during President Xi Jinping's visit to the White House, where both sides also discussed setting up a trade council and extending the outcomes of previous talks.
