Trump, Xi to weigh tariff cuts on $30 billion of imports in managed trade push

The U.S. and China are expected to move toward a managed trade mechanism for non-sensitive goods this week, potentially covering about $30 billion of goods eligible for tariff reductions. The framework would allow both sides to resume trade in selected categories while avoiding national security red lines. The development is modestly constructive for trade relations and could support sentiment across tariff-sensitive sectors.
