US President Donald Trump has announced that a deal has been reached with China to reduce tariffs on Chinese goods. The rare earths trade, which was a major point of contention between the two nations, will be lifted. 
In exchange for lifting the restrictions, Beijing agreed to remove export controls and buy more US soybeans. In addition, China would no longer impose any export restrictions on rare earths.
The announcement came after crucial talks in South Korea involving Chinese President Xi Jinping. Trump said that he had spoken with Xi about working together to prevent the production of fentanyl, a highly addictive opioid. As part of the agreement, Trump stated that he will lower fentanyl-linked tariffs from 20% to 10%.

 they actually reached an agreement! i was thinking the world was gonna end if they didn't resolve this trade thingy... now we just have to wait and see how it all plays out. did you know that china is one of our biggest importers of soybeans? like, it makes total sense for them to wanna buy more from us. but at the same time, i'm kinda worried about what this means for other countries who might get hurt by our 'new' trade deal... what do u think?

 China's been cracking down hard and I'm sure they're tired of being painted as some kind of villain. And Trump's right, 10% is still pretty steep, but at least he's moving in the right direction.

 Now let's just hope our own politicians don't screw it up  The fact that they agreed to lift export controls on rare earths is a big win for US tech companies who rely on those elements for everything from smartphones to cars. However, I'm also curious to know more about how this deal will impact jobs in both countries... will we see an influx of Chinese soybeans flooding the US market?
