Trump and Xi Begin Trade Talks to Ease Tensions

US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping have begun trade discussions in South Korea, marking a critical moment in the ongoing negotiations to ease the trade tensions between the world’s two largest economies. The talks are being held against the backdrop of significant trade disputes, including tariffs imposed by both countries on each other’s goods. These measures have disrupted global supply chains and raised concerns about the global economic impact.

The meeting is expected to address key issues such as intellectual property rights, market access, and the balance of trade between the US and China. Trump’s administration has emphasized the need to protect American industries and jobs, while China has sought to defend its economic growth and development. The outcome of these discussions could have far-reaching implications for international trade policies and global economic stability.
