Trump Says China Agreed to Roll Back Non-Tariff Barriers

US President Donald Trump said China had agreed to remove non-tariff barriers to US imports as he announced a deescalation of his trade war with Beijing, suggesting even greater concessions could be in store if talks progress.

“China will also suspend and remove all of its non-monetary barriers. They’ve agreed to do that,” Trump said at the White House on Monday following the first publicly known talks between the countries since the start of a crippling tariff fight.
