#TariffsPause

Over the past twenty-four hours, tensions in U.S.-China relations continued, particularly due to trade disputes. China reduced some of its high tariffs on American imports, indicating a potential easing of the trade war, but Beijing quickly denied President Trump's claims of ongoing talks, calling them "fake news." U.S. stocks rose, driven by technology shares, as investors monitored the tariff crisis. No formal negotiations took place, as China urged the United States to lift unilateral tariffs to resolve trade issues. Meanwhile, the Trump administration continues to apply pressure, with no clear solution in sight, raising concerns about further economic decoupling and its effects on the global market.
