The United States and China released nonsensitive product lists worth $60 billion for reciprocal tariff cuts, days after Chinese President Xi Jinping's first state visit to the US since 2015, where he met President Donald Trump.
The move is part of a broader recalibration of US-China trade ties following the Trump-Xi meeting.
The lists exclude sensitive technology and strategic goods, focusing instead on non-strategic products to ease trade tensions.

ಮೇನ್ಸ್
GS-II International Relations and GS-III Economy: US-China trade rivalry shapes global supply chains and multilateral trade rules. A limited tariff-cut deal on non-strategic goods eases tensions while technology and strategic sectors stay contested. For India, the way forward is to diversify trade partners, take advantage of supply-chain realignment and safeguard its own strategic interests.
