Drop-In: US–China trade talks – a lasting truce or just a pause?

Expectations are high that Donald Trump’s first face-to-face meeting with Xi Jinping of his second term will ease trade tensions and put the relationship on a more stable footing. But have hopes been set too high? And how will the outcome shape the economic ties between these two superpowers?

Join our senior economists on Thursday 30th October at 0900 GMT/1700 SGT for a special 20-minute online briefing assessing the Xi-Trump meeting, the latest agreements and the outlook for the US-China economic relationship.

During this session, the team will answer your questions as they address key issues, including:

• From rare earth controls to US tariffs – what was agreed, and what impact it will have;
• What to expect in the US-China relationship in the months and years ahead;
• What a US-China trade deal means for global financial markets.
