The primary goals of the trade talks are to address ongoing trade tensions and possibly lift U.S. trade restrictions on China, as requested by President Xi Jinping. The talks follow a recent 90-day deal to roll back some tariffs, but broader issues such as critical minerals and economic models remain unresolved.
