#USChinaTradeTalks US-China trade talks resumed recently with hopes to ease ongoing tensions from high tariffs imposed by both sides. The US has levied tariffs up to 145% on Chinese goods, while China responded with tariffs up to 125% and export restrictions on rare earth minerals. In recent discussions, China agreed to limited rare-earth export licenses, and the US hinted at relaxing semiconductor export controls, boosting market confidence. However, challenges remain as China insists the US must remove all unilateral tariffs for progress. Legal uncertainties in the US around tariff authority add complexity. The talks continue amid cautious optimism for improved trade relations.
