The U.S. and China have tentatively agreed to another truce in their trade war
This story is being published as part of a content partnership with the South China Morning Post. It originally appeared on scmp.com on June 26, 2019.
One source with knowledge of the planning said Trump's decision to delay additional tariffs was Xi's price for holding the meeting in Osaka. It is unclear whether Trump will put any sort of deadline for the talks to reach an agreement, as he had before. Two sources suggested a deadline of six months, which would put the deadline at the end of the year.
The person, speaking on condition of anonymity, said that both sides are expected to release coordinated press releases following the summit, as opposed to one joint statement.
