The Trump-Xi Jinping meeting is over. It lasted an hour and a half shorter than planned (the original plan was three hours, which was 50% shorter). Results: 1) Tariffs on fentanyl have been reduced to 10%, and general duties on imports from China have been reduced to 47% (from 57%). 2) US soybean exports to China have been restored. 3) Trump will visit China in April, and Xi Jinping will visit the US soon. 4) China will continue exporting rare earths to the US as part of the annual agreement on rare earths and critical minerals. Trump claimed to have given the meeting a 10 out of 10, but in reality, nothing was decided, and when world leaders' meetings last shorter than planned, it means they couldn't agree on many issues. Tariffs of 47% are clear evidence that they were unable to reach agreement on key points and will now be working on the second phase of negotiations, preparing proposals, and discussing everything in the United States.
