China's commerce ministry on Saturday described as "preliminary" the tariff, agricultural and aircraft deals agreed during this week's visit by US President Donald Trump. Trump left Beijing on Friday after two days of talks with President Xi Jinping that featured pageantry and warm rhetoric but limited detail on concrete outcomes across trade and investment.
In a statement on its website, the ministry said the two sides had agreed to establish an investment board and a trade board to negotiate reciprocal, product-specific tariff reductions, as well as broader cuts on unspecified goods including agricultural products.
Also on agriculture, Beijing said both sides would work to resolve non-tariff barriers and market access issues.
