On Nov. 13, China and the United States held the first Trade Council meeting
under the China‑U.S. Economic and Trade Consultations mechanism via
videoconference. Officials said they discussed implementing prior negotiation
outcomes, focusing on tariffs, reciprocal tariff reductions on 300 billion vs
300 billion, agricultural trade and other mutually held concerns. Both sides
reported candid, substantive and constructive exchanges and said the Trade
Council will continue to coordinate to resolve trade issues, expand a
cooperation list and narrow a problems list to help build a constructive, stable
China‑U.S. strategic relationship based on respect, fairness and reciprocity.
