The newly announced Sino-U.S. framework lays out a 90-day tariff truce of sorts, slashing American tariffs on Chinese goods from 145% to about 30%, while cutting Beijing’s retaliatory duties from 125% to 10%.

The U.S. has a $12 billion trade surplus with the United Kingdom, meaning it already exports more than it imports. Meanwhile, the baseline 10% tariff Trump announced April 2 will remain in effect for most U.K. imports, which could lead to higher prices for consumers.

Opposition to Trump may have jumped the gun on the doom and gloom forecasts. Trump's string of deals and demands have moved markets to recovery. Major indices have since exceeded both their April 1 closes and predictions.
