In a sideline meeting at the G-20 summit in Osaka, Japan this past weekend, U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping agreed to resume trade talks that had broken down inMay.
Trump and Xi have reached a temporary agreement that the U.S. will not put additional tariffs on another $300billion worth of goods pending quality trade negotiations.
