In the past twenty-four hours, tensions in US-China relations have continued, particularly due to trade disputes. China has 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, labeling them as "fake news." US stocks rose, driven by tech shares, as investors monitored the tariff crisis. No formal negotiations have taken 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.
