Trump: The meeting with Xi was amazing

  • US president Trump the first to comment after the meeting ends
Donald Trump
  • A lot of decisions were made
  • Will be providing conclusions on very important things
  • Purchases of soybeans will begin immediately
  • Agreed for China to work very hard in stopping fentanyl problem
  • Also agreed to reduce (fentanyl tariffs)
  • Tariffs on China will be down from 57% to 47%
  • But I wouldn't say everything was discussed
  • We did discuss chips, they will be talking to Nvidia and others about taking chips
  • But not talking about Nvidia's Blackwell chips
  • All the rare earth issue has been settled, no more roadblocks on rare earths
  • China will keep exports of rare earths flowing (US official)

US futures have gone back up on the early remarks here, paring the slight losses moments after the meeting conclusion earlier. S&P 500 futures are back up by 0.1%. On the remarks above, they are on the optimistic side but we'll have to see on the details. As for the tone, they aren't as bullish as how Trump would typically sell his "victories". That especially when he feels the need to mention that "not everything was discussed".
