President Donald Trump's proposal to slash tariffs on Chinese imports from 145% to 80%.

He urged China to open its market to American goods, saying closed economies are outdated. 

This proposal, seen as a strategic shift ahead of key trade talks, has drawn global attention, especially following Trump’s recent UK deal seen as a diplomatic success.

The upcoming negotiations in Geneva involve top U.S. and Chinese officials, with fentanyl trafficking also on the agenda. 

China's inclusion of its public security minister signals the talks' gravity.

Trump’s move is viewed as an attempt to reset trade relations and ease supply chain disruptions.
