Trump cuts fentanyl tariffs on China to 10%, says U.S. has reached rare earths deal with Beijing

The one-year pact includes a 10% tariff cut on Chinese exports and commitments to curb fentanyl flow and resume U.S. agricultural purchases, officials said.

  • In Busan on October 30, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping agreed on a one-year deal on rare earths and critical minerals, and lowered tariffs on Chinese exports to 47%.
  • Tariffs and tech curbs framed the talks, with rare earths and critical minerals central to negotiations, while the U.S. proposed measures on fentanyl flow and TikTok's parent ByteDance divestiture.
  • It was their first meeting in six years and lasted one hour and 40 minutes, with Trump calling Xi `an old friend` and Xi supporting Trump's `Make America Great Again` vision.
  • Beijing pledged it will `work very hard to stop fentanyl` and resume purchases of American soybeans and other agricultural products, while Trump announced reciprocal visits by Trump and Xi.
  • Tensions have been high this year, and the latest escalation came this month with Beijing export controls and Washington's threats to ban software-powered exports.
