The leaders of the two countries have reached a consensus, agreeing to stop imposing additional tariffs on each other's goods, and the two sides will continue negotiations. The US has not yet confirmed the information, but White House economic advisor Larry Kudlow assessed that the meeting between Mr. Xi and Mr. Trump went well.
On November 26, US President Donald Trump warned that if the meeting between him and Chinese President Xi Jinping at the upcoming G20 Summit does not reach an agreement, the US will impose an additional 10% or 25% tax rate on $267 billion worth of Chinese goods.
Previously, the US also announced that it would increase the tax rate from 10% to 25% on 200 billion USD worth of Chinese goods from January 1, 2019./.
