**Headline: Trump Administration Announces Trade Deal with China, Promises Fentanyl Crackdown**

**Washington, D.C. -** President Donald J. Trump has announced a new trade agreement with China, building on the momentum of the recent deal with the United Kingdom. The agreement aims to reduce trade tensions and address the ongoing fentanyl crisis, according to a statement released today.

The deal includes provisions for China to reduce its tariffs on U.S. goods and eliminate retaliatory measures implemented since April 4, 2025, along with suspending or removing non-tariff countermeasures enacted since April 2, 2025. In return, the United States will remove additional tariffs imposed on China on April 8 and April 9, 2025. However, the U.S. will retain all existing tariffs imposed before April 2, 2025, including Section 301 and Section 232 tariffs, duties related to the fentanyl national emergency, and Most Favored Nation tariffs. This maintains a U.S. baseline tariff on China.

A key element of the agreement is the establishment of a mechanism for ongoing discussions on trade and economic matters, signaling a commitment from both nations to work towards a rebalancing of the trade relationship.

Beyond trade, the agreement also includes a commitment to combat the flow of fentanyl and its precursors from China to North America. Both the U.S. and China have pledged to take aggressive actions to disrupt the illicit drug trade.

“This deal represents a significant step forward in our relationship with China,” the statement read. “It not only reduces trade barriers but also addresses critical issues like the fentanyl crisis that impact American communities.”
