U.S. stock futures jumped on Monday after a muted day of trade on Friday. Futures of major benchmark indices were trading over 2% in premarket.
U.S. and China announced a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45341884/apple-amazon-nvidia-rise-in-monday-premarket-as-us-china-agree-to-90-day-tariff-truce-neither-side-wants-a-decoupling">90-day truce</a> to pause the reciprocal tariffs on Monday and revised it from 125% to 10%.&nbsp;This comes after the White House and Chinese officials signaled significant <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/05/45337811/trump-announces-total-reset-as-us-china-trade-talks-aim-to-end-tariff-war">headway in trade negotiations</a> held in Geneva over the weekend.
The U.S. will maintain its 20% tariffs on Chinese imports linked to fentanyl, keeping the overall tariff level on China at 30%. "We had very productive talks and I believe that the venue, here in Lake Geneva, added great equanimity to what was a very positive process,&#8221; said the Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent after the talks.
The U.S.-China joint statement also indicated Beijing&#8217;s agreement to suspend or remove all non-tariff countermeasures implemented since April 2, including sanctions on specific U.S. firms and export limits on crucial minerals, according <a href="https://www.scmp.com/economy/global-economy/article/3309975/china-us-reduce-majority-tariffs-after-first-round-trade-talks?module=top_story&amp;pgtype=homepage">to</a> the South China Morning Post.
Meanwhile, the 10-year Treasury bond yielded 4.44% and the two-year bond was at 3.98%. The CME Group's FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool</a>&#8216;s projections show markets pricing a 92.1% likelihood of the Federal Reserve keeping the current interest rates unchanged in its June meeting.

Insights From Analysts:
After last week, 90% of the S&amp;P 500 companies have reported quarterly results, and the performance has been strong relative to expectations, said Brian Therien, the investment strategist at Edward Jones.
Seventy-eight percent have beaten analyst estimates, with an average upside surprise of 8.6%, he highlighted. Forecasts for first-quarter earnings growth of S&amp;P 500 companies have been revised higher to 13.2%, from 6.7% at the end of the quarter.
Performance has been broad, with eight of the 11 sectors forecast to report higher earnings year-over-year.
&#8220;Wider earnings growth should drive more balanced market performance across sectors, strengthening the case for portfolio diversification, in our view,&#8221; Therien added.
Charles Schwab said in a note that they are maintaining a neutral &#8220;marketperform&#8221; rating on all sectors, a shift it made in April after the White House announced broad-reaching tariffs on imports.
&#8220;Uncertainty about the ultimate level and timing of the tariffs has made it difficult to assert a view on which sectors might outperform or underperform the S&amp;P 500 index, so we are holding all sector ratings at Marketperform until we have more clarity on trade policy,&#8221; the note stated.

US Stock Futures Rise As US, China Agree To 90-Day Tariff Pause: 'Wider Earnings Growth Should Drive More Balanced Market Performance,' Says Expert

On Saturday, in his first formal address to cardinals, Pope Leo XIV described artificial intelligence as a transformative force akin to the Industrial Revolution.
What Happened: "In our own day, the Church offers to everyone the treasury of her social teaching in response to another industrial revolution and to developments in the field of artificial intelligence," the new pope said in Italian, <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2025/05/10/europe/pope-leo-prevost-cardinals-artificial-intelligence-intl">reported </a>CNN.
Adding, "These pose new challenges for the defense of human dignity, justice and labor."
Born Robert Prevost in Chicago, Leo XIV became the first U.S.-born pontiff when he was elected Thursday.
He chose his papal name in honor of Pope Leo XIII, who in 1891 issued Rerum Novarum, a foundational document of Catholic social teaching that addressed the upheavals of the Industrial Revolution, the report noted.

The new pope also signaled strong continuity with the late Pope Francis, praising his "complete dedication to service and to sober simplicity of life."
Why It's Important: Previously, a review of the new Pope's social media activity on X revealed that Pope Leo XIV had <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/05/45308582/pope-leo-xiv-didnt-spare-trump-administration-criticism-on-social-media-now-the-president-says-hes-excited-and-looking-forward-to-meeting-the-first-americ">shared posts critical</a> of Donald Trump-era policies, including opposition to anti-immigrant rhetoric, the death penalty and congressional inaction on gun reform.
He has also reposted content challenging Vice President JD Vance's interpretations of Christianity.

First American Pope Leo XIV Calls Artificial Intelligence Another Industrial Revolution

On Sunday, University of Michigan economist Justin Wolfers highlighted the unusual carveouts in the new U.S.-U.K. trade framework, with leading British brands such as Rolls-Royce Plc, Aston Martin, Bentley, and several other high-end automakers effectively dodging the tariffs.
What Happened: During his appearance on Times Radio, Wolfers called the decision &#8220;politically insane,&#8221; arguing that it undermines the administration's stated goal of protecting American workers and reshoring production.
Wolfers finds it amazing that President Donald Trump said &#8220;we've got to give them a break on the Rolls-Royces because they're beautifully made, handcrafted cars,&#8221; since the &#8220;whole point of the tariffs is to bring production to America,&#8221; he says.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45341851/ross-gerber-calls-waymos-self-driving-taxis-better-than-human-says-theyre-tough-competition-for-uber-and-tesla">Ross Gerber Calls Google-Backed Waymo&#8217;s Self-Driving Taxis &#8216;Better Than A Human,&#8217; Says They&#8217;re &#8216;Tough Competition&#8217; For Uber And Tesla</a>
&#8220;We have tariffs on bananas, something no American worker is ever going to learn to grow,&#8221; Wolfers said, pointing to similarly inexplicable duties on vanilla and diamonds, which the U.S. can't produce or mine. And yet, &#8220;the one thing we definitely can't do [without] is Rolls-Royces, so that gets a special carveout.&#8221;
Wolfers wonders if &#8220;these people&#8221; just see the parking lot at Mar-a-Lago and think &#8220;well that's what people drive, that will help working and middle class Americans,&#8221; highlighting the absurdity of this move.
Why It Matters: Wolfers has repeatedly criticized the aimless, shifting goalposts and <a href="https://benzinga.com/markets/25/04/45091467/trump-can-either-have-his-cake-or-eat-it-economist-justin-wolfers-calls-out-presidents-fundamental-incoherence-on-trade-deals-and-tariffs">&#8220;fundamentally incoherent&#8221; nature</a> of Trump&#8217;s tariffs. Just a week ago, he stated that Trump can either have a deal or tariff revenue, no both.
Just a day after the &#8220;Liberation Day&#8221; tariffs were unveiled, Wolfers called it &#8220;monstrously destructive,&#8221; and something <a href="https://benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44620423/trumps-sweeping-tariffs-could-cost-us-20-trillion-crash-markets-warn-economists-monstrously-destructive">that would hurt</a> &#8220;working Americans more than anyone else.&#8221;

<li>The REAL8 trial showed that after 52 weeks, once-weekly Sogroya (somapacitan) had similar clinical outcomes and safety profile to once-daily Norditropin (somatropin) in children born small for gestational age (SGA)1, or with Noonan syndrome (NS)2, or with idiopathic short stature.</li>
<li>Superiority was achieved for once-weekly somapacitan versus daily growth hormone in children with NS2, as well as compared to lower doses of daily growth hormone in children born SGA1.</li>
<li>These conditions are often associated with significant health challenges and a high treatment burden from daily injections, which can lead to a lack of adherence and put successful treatment outcomes at risk.

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) has touted the company's FSD (Full Self-Driving) technology ahead of next month's Robotaxi launch in Austin, Texas.
What Happened: A video posted by a handle on X called Whole Mars Catalog showcased a Tesla vehicle navigating its way through traffic using Supervised FSD near Los Angeles's LAX airport on Saturday.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter">

Tesla's official handle on X then quoted the video on Sunday. "LAX is no problem for FSD Supervised," the EV giant said in the post. The post was also reposted by Tesla CEO Elon Musk.

Why It Matters: As Musk's EV giant is gearing itself up for the launch of its robotaxi in Austin, the company has hit a snag as the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45278182/elon-musks-cybercab-ambitions-face-latest-snag-teslas-robotaxi-trademark-filing-refused-by-authorities">refused to grant </a>the company trademarks on "Robotaxi" as well as "Cybercab."
Elsewhere, Tesla asked its workers to stay at home as the company extended the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45334371/tesla-workers-told-to-stay-home-as-elon-musks-ev-giant-extends-memorial-day-break-following-13-delivery-drop-and-surging-inventory-report">Memorial Day break </a>amid a 13% drop in deliveries and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45216453/tesla-has-over-10000-units-of-unsold-cybertrucks-in-its-us-inventory-amid-poor-sales-report">inventory piling up</a> at Tesla dealerships.
On the other hand, the EV manufacturer continues to wrestle with poor sales figures both within the U.S. as well as in regions like Europe. Recently, the company also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/04/45004433/tesla-rolls-out-free-fsd-transfers-on-all-us-models-including-cybertruck-amid-poor-sales">offered free FSD transfers</a> for its customers on all of its models in a bid to boost sales.
However, analysts are still optimistic about Musk's company's future as analyst Gary Black believes that Tesla will <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45341220/top-bull-gary-black-shares-why-he-is-holding-on-to-uber-and-tsla-our-investment-thesis-on">reap the benefits</a> of increased EV adoption as well as autonomous driving.

Elon Musk's Tesla Teases FSD Capabilities Ahead Of June Robotaxi Event

Dogwifhat (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">WIF</a>) spearheaded the broader cryptocurrency rally early Monday morning, fueled by optimism about the U.S.-China trade deal.
What happened: The Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>)-based meme coin soared 46% to become the second-most successful cryptocurrency in the last 24 hours. The coin's trading volume surged nearly 50% to $1.14 billion.
The rally pushed WIF's weekly gains to 124% and monthly gains past 192%.
The upsurge dwarfed the gains made by top meme coins like Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) and Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/shib/usd">SHIB</a>), which rose 4.20 and 4.67%, respectively.

Another cryptocurrency trader, going by the pseudonym Crypto Mechanic, acknowledged that the coin made a "great" move, but now may not be the best time to buy.
"Let the price go into consolidation or give you some LTF pullbacks that would be a less risky setup imo," the trader said.

On Sunday, India issued its first official response after reports emerged that a Rafale fighter jet, part of the country's prized air fleet, was allegedly shot down by a Chinese-made Pakistani aircraft.
What Happened: The unverified incident, which sent shockwaves across defense circles, rattled the investors, with shares of French manufacturer Dassault Aviation plunging amid growing scrutiny over the jet&#8217;s battlefield performance
On Friday, U.S. officials confirmed that a Chinese-made J-10 aircraft fired air-to-air missiles at Indian fighter jets. One of the Indian jets shot down was a French-built Rafale fighter, while Pakistan&#8217;s U.S.-made F-16s, produced by Lockheed Martin (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>), were not involved in the incident, reported Reuters.
Pakistan&#8217;s Defense Minister, Khawaja Muhammad Asif, claimed that the J-10 was used to shoot down three Rafale planes, newly acquired by India. Pakistan asserts to have downed five Indian planes in total.
On Sunday, Air Marshal A.K. Bharti responded in a press conference regarding the same. &#8220;We are in a combat scenario and losses are a part of it. All our pilots are back home,&#8221; stated Bharti. 
Notably, the Indian military gave no clear answer on this.
The incident led to a decline in shares for Rafale manufacturer Dassault Aviation (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DUAVF#OTC">DUAVF</a>). The European listed stock has fallen nearly 10% in the last 5 days. On Friday, the U.S.-listed ADRs closed lower by more than 3.6%. Over the past five days, the ADR lost 4.42% of its value.

Tim Walz—&#8217;We Don&#8217;t Need To Run Government Like A Business&#8217;</a>
Why It Matters: The incident has piqued the interest of air warfare communities worldwide, eager to understand the tactics, techniques, and procedures used in the confrontation. Washington is closely analyzing the jet's performance against a Western adversary, seeing it as a potential indicator of how Beijing might fare in a conflict over Taiwan or across the broader Indo-Pacific.
The incident comes amid <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45241770/india-fires-missiles-into-pakistani-territory-trump-hopes-fighting-between-nuclear-rivals-ends-very-quickly">escalating tensions </a>between India and Pakistan.

India Breaks Silence After Rafale Jet Reportedly Downed By Pakistan's Chinese-Made Fighter — Triggering Sell-Off In Dassault Aviation Stock: 'Losses Are A Part Of...'

Berkshire Hathaway Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) has silently emerged as one of the biggest players in the U.S. Treasury-bill market. In JPMorgan's estimation, Warren Buffett's conglomerate currently holds around 5% of all outstanding short-term government bills. This makes it the fourth-largest holder in the world.
What Happened: Berkshire's T-bill holdings have increased to $314 billion as of the end of March, multiplying twofold in the past year, outpacing even the holdings of foreign banks, the Federal Reserve, Local Government Investment Pools, offshore money market funds, and stablecoin-backed reserves, according to JPMorgan, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/11/berkshire-now-owns-5percent-of-treasury-bill-market-as-buffett-waits-for-prey.html">reported</a> CNBC.
Buffett regularly buys T-bills at weekly auctions, at times in $10 billion chunks. With short-term yields still more than 4%, the portfolio earns billions in interest income every year.

Why It Matters: During Berkshire's recent annual meeting, 94-year-old Buffett reminded shareholders that cash has intrinsic strategic value: "Every now and then you find something and occasionally, very occasionally, but it'll happen again… we will be bombarded with offerings that we'll be glad we have the cash for." He also shared that the company had almost spent $10 billion in the recent past but decided to hold back. "We came pretty close to spending $10 billion, not that long ago, for example, but we'd spend $100 billion" if the right deal came along, Buffett said.
At the same meeting, he also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/market-summary/25/05/45218040/warren-buffett-expresses-disappointment-over-dollar-depreciation-dont-want-to-own-assets-in-a-currency-that-is-really-going-to-hell">expressed concerns</a> about the falling value of the United States currency. Earlier this month, Berkshire Hathaway reported a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45183890/berkshire-hathaways-q1-2025-earnings-plunge-amid-tariff-concerns-operating-profit-fell-14-cash-hit-a-record">major drop</a> in its operating earnings in the first quarter.

Why Sable Offshore Shares Are Trading Higher By 13%; Here Are 20 Stocks Moving Premarket

<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/12/us-and-china-agree-to-slash-tariffs-for-90-days.html" title="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/12/us-and-china-agree-to-slash-tariffs-for-90-days.html">https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/12/us-and-china-agree-to-slash-tariffs-for-90-days.html</a>

Earlier: U.S., China Agree To  Slash Tariffs For 90-Days, Cutting Reciprocal Tariffs From 125% To 10% While U.S. Keeps 20% Duties On China's Fentanyl-Linked Imports, Leaving Total Tariffs On China At 30%

On Monday, the U.S. and China agreed to a temporary reduction in most tariffs on each other&#8217;s goods, marking a considerable easing of trade tensions. As a result, major tech stocks caught in the trade war, such as Apple (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), climbed more than 4% during the pre-market trading session.
What Happened: The world&#8217;s two largest economies have agreed to a 90-day suspension of &#8220;reciprocal&#8221; tariffs, reducing them from 125% to 10%.&nbsp;However, the U.S. will maintain its 20% tariffs on Chinese imports linked to fentanyl, keeping the overall tariff level on China at 30%, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/12/us-and-china-agree-to-slash-tariffs-for-90-days.html">reported </a>CNBC.
As per the joint statement, Beijing has also agreed to suspend or lift all non-tariff countermeasures imposed since April 2, including sanctions on certain U.S. companies and export restrictions on key minerals, <a href="https://www.scmp.com/economy/global-economy/article/3309975/china-us-reduce-majority-tariffs-after-first-round-trade-talks?module=top_story&amp;pgtype=homepage">as per</a> the South China Morning Post.
This development comes after intensive trade talks between U.S. and Chinese representatives in Switzerland, with U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent expressing satisfaction with the discussions, stating, &#8220;We had very productive talks&nbsp;and I believe that the&nbsp;venue, here in Lake Geneva,&nbsp;added great equanimity to what&nbsp;was a very positive process.&#8221;
"Neither side wants a decoupling,&#8221; emphasized Bessent. 
Both countries have signaled their commitment to ongoing dialogue on economic and trade policy. Earlier in the day, the official handle of the Chinese Embassy in the U.S. stated, &#8220;high-level meeting on economic and trade affairs were in-depth, candid and constructive,&#8221; citing Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng.

Why It Matters: The weekend talks in Geneva, Switzerland, marked the first formal negotiations between the two superpowers since U.S. President Donald Trump imposed new tariffs of 145% on China earlier this year. Trump had stated that he "might speak with Chinese President Xi Jinping" based on the outcome in Switzerland.
This agreement comes in the wake of renewed<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/05/45337811/trump-announces-total-reset-as-us-china-trade-talks-aim-to-end-tariff-war"> trade negotiations </a>between the two nations, as reported. The talks, described by U.S. officials and President Trump as a potential &#8220;reset,&#8221; aimed to reduce tariffs and reestablish more stable trade terms. 
Despite the diplomatic tone, deep-rooted differences remain, particularly around technology, subsidies, and market transparency. The outcome of these talks is critical not just for U.S.–China relations, but for global trade stability in the months ahead. 
Investors were encouraged by the news of the tariff relief. During the pre-market trading session, shares of Apple (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) climbed above 4%, while Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) and Amazon Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) rose more than 6%. Meanwhile, Boeing (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) rose 3.5%.

Dow Falls Over 100 Points, Also Records Weekly Loss: Fear & Greed Index Remains In 'Greed' Zone

Prominent investor Ross Gerber recently shared that, in his view, Alphabet Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) subsidiary Google-backed Waymo self-driving technology performs better than human drivers, hinting at growing pressure on ride-sharing and autonomous vehicle rivals.
What Happened: The CEO and co-founder of Gerber Kawasaki Wealth and Investment Management shared his experience on his X account after observing a Waymo vehicle navigate through congested beach traffic. 
&#8220;A Waymo navigated by us with precision that was better than a human. Waymos drive extremely well,&#8221; Gerber stated, adding that this development &#8220;is going to be very tough competition&#8221; for Uber Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>) and Elon Musk&#8216;s Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>).
Gerber&#8217;s comments came in response to CBS Sunday Morning correspondent David Pogue&#8216;s segment highlighting Waymo&#8217;s achievement of 50 million miles driven without a fatality. According to Pogue&#8217;s report, Waymo plans expansion to 15 cities by year-end, offering rides at the &#8220;same price as Uber.&#8221;

Why It Matters: The assessment from Gerber directly contradicts the position of prominent Tesla bull and Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives, who recently dismissed the Waymo and Toyota Motor Corp&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TM#NYSE">TM</a>) partnership as a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45126638/tesla-will-own-the-autonomous-market-dan-ives-says-shrugging-off-waymo-toyota-agreement">threat to Tesla&#8217;s autonomous ambitions</a>. &#8220;Tesla will own the autonomous market in my view and no one can compete with their scale and scope,&#8221; Ives posted, emphasizing Tesla&#8217;s upcoming Austin robotaxi launch in June as a &#8220;key chapter of growth.&#8221;
Waymo has established significant momentum in the autonomous vehicle race, recently announcing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45001569/waymo-announces-250000-weekly-paid-rides-across-four-us-cities-sundar-pichai-says-personal-ownership-an-option-in-the-future">it provides over 250,000</a> fully autonomous paid rides weekly across four major cities. 
The Alphabet subsidiary has formed a strategic partnership with Toyota to develop autonomous technology for personally owned vehicles, combining Waymo&#8217;s driving system expertise with Toyota&#8217;s manufacturing capabilities.

Ross Gerber Calls Google-Backed Waymo's Self-Driving Taxis 'Better Than A Human,' Says They're 'Tough Competition' For Uber And Tesla

Economists have been predicting that retailers in the U.S. are likely to face pressure in the case of higher tariffs on China, as it is likely to &#8220;empty shelves&#8221; with a falling inventory-to-sales ratio.
What Happened: According to Torsten Slok, the chief economist at Apollo Academy, the inventory-to-sales ratio for retailers has fallen below the pre-pandemic level, sparking concerns about lower inventory as compared to the sales made by these retailers.
&#8220;The inventory-to-sales ratio for retailers was 1.5 before the pandemic, and now it is 1.3, see chart below,&#8221; the Apollo note stated.
Slok explained, &#8220;In other words, retailers will more quickly have empty shelves when goods no longer come in from China.&#8221;
This sentiment was also echoed by senior economist Mohamed El Erian in an X post. According to him, the ongoing high-level talks between China and the U.S. in Geneva, Switzerland, are likely to provide clarity on many concerns.
He highlights China&#8217;s &#8220;appetite for pain&#8221; and America&#8217;s fear of &#8220;empty shelves&#8221; as the primary matters that need to be solved via the ongoing talks.
&#8220;The outcome of this weekend's China-US tariff talks in Switzerland will be assessed in terms of what it reveals about China's appetite for pain, America's fear of &#8217;empty shelves,&#8217; and the way each country prioritizes the long-term objectives of trade policy. It will also be significant for many other countries, where there is already concern about the diversion of Chinese exports to their markets,&#8221; he said.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent lauded the &#8220;substantial progress,&#8221; while Trade Ambassador Jamieson Greer highlighted the swift agreement, expressing optimism that the deal would address the U.S.&#8217;s $1.2 trillion trade deficit, a &#8220;national emergency.&#8221;
