China and the United States reached a consensus on recommendations for more favorable tariff treatment covering $30 billion of non-sensitive goods in each direction, the White House said late Friday. The announcement followed Chinese President Xi Jinping’s three-day visit to the United States with his wife, Peng Liyuan. It was Xi’s first state visit to Washington in more than a decade and his second visit to the US since 2015. The two sides also agreed on measures involving energy, agriculture, investment, coal and critical-minerals supply chains. The White House said China will import at least 10 million metric tons of US coal in both 2027 and 2028, while a new working group will address agricultural market-access barriers. Xi and Trump also discussed global security issues, strategic stability and emerging technologies, agreeing to use the term super intelligence for applicable technologies and to establish related bilateral dialogue channels.
