Trump-Xi talks: US may ease China tariffs in exchange for fentanyl chemical crackdown
US President Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping are set to discuss a trade framework where Washington might reduce tariffs on Chinese goods. In exchange, Beijing would commit to stricter controls on fentanyl precursor chemicals, a move aimed at curbing opioid overdose deaths in the US. The meeting, occurring at the APEC summit, could potentially de-escalate ongoing trade tensions.
