The US and China correspond to the rates for 90 days

The US and China have agreed a temporary reduction in the rates that they impose on each other’s input.

The US Finance Minister Scott Bessent said that both countries would lower their mutual rates by 115% for 90 days.

The announcement came after both China and the US had held commercial conversations this weekend in Switzerland, which had previously described Bessent as “productive and constructive”.

It was the first meeting between the two countries since US President Donald Trump had imposed steep rates against China on his goods that entered America in January.

Trump had imposed a rate of 145% on Chinese input, while Beijing responded with a levying of 125% to some American goods.

The enormous rates caused unrest in the financial markets and caused the fear of a global recession.

However, the American rates for Chinese import will now be reduced to 30%for 90 days, while Chinese rates for the entry of the US are lowered to 10%for the same period.
