Having levied import duties against each other in April, the U.S. and China then twice postponed escalation in the trade war. After six months of negotiations, the two heads of state, Donald Trump and Xi Jinping, met on October 30 and announced a trade truce for another year. In the case of other countries, Trump managed to secure significant concessions. But Beijing took a tough stance and did not back down from it. It identified the weaknesses of its and the U.S. economies in advance and skillfully exploited them.
