Trump and Xi to Tackle Trade and Fentanyl Crisis

U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping are poised to engage in crucial discussions this Thursday, aiming to establish a new trade framework. The talks are expected to focus primarily on the reduction of U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports.

In exchange for these concessions, Beijing is anticipated to pledge a significant reduction in the exportation of fentanyl precursor chemicals, a matter of international concern due to the ongoing opioid crisis.

The Wall Street Journal revealed these prospective discussions on Tuesday. However, Reuters could not immediately corroborate the report, which was based on information from individuals familiar with the negotiations.
