Busan (Brussels Morning Newspaper) – US President Donald Trump has praised his meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping as “amazing” and expressed that the two presidents “agreed to almost everything” at their meeting in South Korea.

He also said he will visit China in April, without providing further details. He said Xi would also visit the US shortly after that. Asked by a reporter aboard Air Force One how soon he thinks an agreement may come, Trump replied:
“I think pretty soon, we have not too many major stumbling blocks.”
“We have a deal. Now, every year we’ll renegotiate the deal, but I think the deal will go on for a long time.”
“It’s a one-year agreement, and we’ll extend it after a year,”
he also said.
What tariff changes did Trump announce after the meeting?
Trump announced that the United States has reduced the overall tariff rate on Chinese products from 57% to 47%, after having made progress with China on soybean imports, rare earths, and fentanyl. Trump said that the reduction would go into effect immediately.
“We reduced it … We’ve already seen the action on fentanyl, and they’re taking very strong action. So reduced to 10%,”
Trump said.
What did Xi say about long-term cooperation with the US?
As reported by Chinese state media, Xi said the
“economic and trade teams of China and the United States held in-depth talks and reached consensus on solutions to problems”.
