China says Trump visit deals are 'preliminary'

The ministry said talks will continue on tariff cuts, farm access and aircraft purchases, but gave no details on volumes, values or timelines.

  • On Saturday, China's commerce ministry described as "preliminary" the tariff, agricultural, and aircraft deals agreed during President Donald Trump's two-day visit to Beijing, which featured significant pageantry but limited concrete details.
  • Although Trump hailed his trip to Beijing as a "huge success," analysts have questioned the lack of a timeline for the 200 aircraft China agreed to purchase.
  • Both nations agreed to establish investment and trade boards to negotiate tariff reductions, and the ministry confirmed arrangements on "Chinese purchases of U.S. aircraft and U.S. assurances on the supply of aircraft engines and parts to China."
  • With talks continuing, the ministry indicated that the agreements would be "finalised as soon as possible," marking China's first public characterization of outcomes from discussions held in Beijing and Seoul.
  • Resolving long-standing trade concerns remains a priority, with the U.S. promoting solutions for dairy and aquatic products and Shandong province's avian influenza status, while China addresses beef registration and poultry exports.
