WASHINGTON − Top Trump administration officials <www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2025/05/09/bessent-congress-debt-ceiling/83543327007/> said they reached a trade agreement with China after two days of negotiations <www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2025/05/10/trump-touts-trade-talks-with-china/83560668007/> in Geneva, marking a potentially massive victory for President Donald Trump <www.usatoday.com/news/politics/donald-trump/> amid his trade war with Beijing.
The White House announced a “China trade deal” in a May 11 statement, but did not disclose details. The apparent agreement came together sooner that most observers expected after Trump’s 145% tariffs <www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2025/05/08/trump-trade-deal-uk-whats-next-china-mexico-canada/83496170007/> on Chinese imports virtually halted $600 billion in annual trade between the world’s two largest economies.
“It’s important to understand how quickly we were able to come to agreement, which reflects that perhaps the differences were not so large as maybe thought,” U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said from Geneva in brief remarks to reporters. “That being said, there was a lot of groundwork that went into these two days.”

The two days of meetings in Switzerland were the first between top leaders <www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2025/05/06/trump-china-talks-bessent/83473027007/> of the United States and China since Trump imposed the sweeping tariffs on China, which responded with 125% retaliatory tariffs on U.S. exports.
Heading into the weekend trade negotiations, Trump signaled a willingness to drop U.S. tariffs on China to an 80% rate <www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2025/05/09/trump-china-tariffs-trade-talks/83533114007/>, though it was not immediately clear if either side agreed to lower tariffs on the other.
