US-China Trade Deal ‘On The Verge,’ Trump Says
U.S. President Donald Trump stated on Wednesday that a trade agreement with China is “only a question of time” and will be beneficial for both sides. He made the remarks ahead of his scheduled meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Seoul, adding that the world is watching closely for progress.
What The Deal Could Involve
The potential agreement is expected to cover tariffs, rare-earth exports and supply chain access. Reports suggest China may offer concessions in key industrial sectors, while the U.S. could provide phased tariff relief. Although no final deal has been signed yet, both nations have expressed optimism.
Strategic Significance
If concluded, the deal would mark a significant shift in U.S.-China trade relations after years of tariff battles and technology disputes. Analysts believe it could stabilise markets, ease supply chain concerns and reshape diplomatic engagement in the Indo-Pacific.
