Trump and Xi land in Busan for highly anticipated meeting over trade and tariffs

  • On Thursday, U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping will finalize a trade truce in Busan, South Korea, rolling back planned tariffs, fees and export restrictions.
  • After tit-for-tat escalations earlier this month, China’s roles as a top soybean buyer and exporter of rare-earth magnets contribute to its leverage over the U.S., impacting U.S. farmers.
  • Markets reacted cautiously as Trump said tariffs would be cut to 47%, while said Lynn Song, 'Managing to meet and de-escalate after recent tensions will help remove a major uncertainty, lowering the immediate risks to end the year.'
  • The agreement buys both sides breathing room and offers relief to multinational corporations and investors, but the result amounts to a temporary pause rather than a durable resolution of core U.S.-China issues.
  • Given Donald Trump's mercurial leadership, China hawks in Washington warn concessions may spark pushback, while rare-earth dominance leaves risks for the global economy.
