In a significant development, U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping have reached a one-year trade truce following their recent talks. The leaders discussed various issues, including tariffs on Chinese goods, which Trump agreed to cut after receiving promises from Xi regarding enhanced enforcement of fentanyl restrictions and a pause on rare-earth export concerns. Despite the temporary easing of tensions, key details about the agreement remain ambiguous, leading to speculation about whether this deal will lead to a lasting resolution or if it merely buys time in an ongoing rivalry between the two superpowers. Analysts suggest that while the meeting was viewed positively by Trump, critics question the long-term effectiveness of the concessions made.
