China, US agree to $30 billion tariff cut, AI dialogue during Xi visit, Beijing says

The deal covers $30 billion in goods and creates a new channel for AI incidents and military crisis talks, officials said.

  • On Friday, President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping reached an eight-point consensus in Washington, including a $30 billion reciprocal tariff-reduction arrangement for non-sensitive goods and a new bilateral dialogue on artificial intelligence.
  • This agreement builds on discussions that began at the Trump-Xi summit in Busan, South Korea, last year, where both sides described their trade talks as having reached a "basic consensus" before continuing negotiations in Beijing this May.
  • The White House reported China agreed to import at least 10 million tonnes of US coal in 2027 and 2028, while both nations launched working groups targeting agricultural market access and global petroleum supply stabilization.
  • Beyond trade, the eight-point consensus includes mutual support for upcoming APEC and G20 summits, reaffirmed commitments on Iran's nuclear programme, and joint anti-narcotics enforcement that has already led to dozens of arrests.
  • During the state visit, the leaders agreed to build "a constructive relationship of strategic stability," a diplomatic tone underscored by US first lady Melania Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping's wife Peng Liyuan visiting the National Archives Museum together.
