Ongoing bilateral mechanisms, including the U.S.-China Board of Trade established after the May 2026 Trump-Xi summit, have created a structured channel for reciprocal tariff reductions on non-sensitive goods valued at roughly $30 billion per side. The October 2025 Busan agreement suspended major tariffs and export controls until November 2026, with both governments committing to further talks aimed at extending or adjusting terms. Recent Section 301 actions, such as the July 2026 12.5 percent forced-labor tariff, have remained within the prior framework's limits, while China has signaled acceptance of managed rates without broad retaliation. These steps, combined with agricultural purchase commitments and scheduled high-level diplomacy, underpin trader expectations of a formal accord or extension by year-end.
