A Timeline of the U.S.-China Trade War During Trump's Second Term.

The article focuses on the recent developments and historical timeline of the U.S.-China trade war, highlighting the progress toward a trade truce between the world's two largest economies. After months of escalating tariffs, counter-tariffs, and trade restrictions initiated under U.S. President Donald Trump's administration, negotiators from both countries agreed in principle to a framework aimed at implementing a consensus reached between Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping. Key issues addressed include tariffs on goods, export controls on rare earth minerals, and trade barriers affecting critical sectors. The article details significant tariff hikes and retaliations from February to June, culminating in a June 10 announcement of a trade truce framework pending final approval from both presidents.
