The US and China have detailed plans to cut tariffs on about $30 billion of imports from each other, covering a wide range of goods ranging from fireworks, household products and toys to meat, seafood, grains and medical equipment. The tariff relief is among the key outcomes of US President Donald Trump’s meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping as the two sides seek to stabilise trade ties.
The US list contains 77 Chinese product categories, while China’s list covers 1,619 US goods, according to documents released by the two governments. The combined trade covered by the planned tariff cuts is worth about $60 billion.
