The United States and China have reached an agreement on mutual tariff reductions on goods worth $30 billion and the launch of a dialogue on artificial intelligence. These decisions were among eight points agreed during Chinese President Xi Jinping's visit to Washington, including talks with Donald Trump. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Kursiv Media.
Beijing and Washington also agreed to develop a joint trade council and extend the agreements reached during talks in Kuala Lumpur.
