According to a source familiar with the matter, both sides are not expecting a breakthrough in their trade talks, and are instead focusing on managing their differences and making modest improvements. A potential interim agreement may include limited tariff reductions, extension of current tax rates, or China's commitment to purchasing American soybeans and Boeing aircraft. It is worth noting that Beijing has previously failed to uphold similar commitments made in 2020 under the Trump administration's agreement. Washington may also consider allowing more high-end computer chips to flow into Beijing, which could in turn ease controls on rare earth magnets that have infuriated Trump. The move is seen as a way to ease tensions and pave the way for a more comprehensive trade deal in the future. The exact terms of the agreement are still unclear, but sources suggest that both sides are working towards a deal that will benefit both countries. As the meeting between Xi and Trump approaches, the world is watching with bated breath to see what the outcome will be. Will the two leaders be able to put aside their differences and reach a mutually beneficial agreement, or will the talks break down once again? Only time will tell.
