The markets have seen some relief, and US stocks rose on Thursday after Trump offered his trade framework with the UK as the first step in his efforts to restructure the global economy, and he said he believed negotiations with China could lead to tangible progress. “I think we can also expect some progress in future agreements with other countries. There is a common vote that tends to venture through the strong performance of US stocks,” future agreements read. Trump added that the positive news of trade, as well as the efforts of Republicans to adopt legislation that extends and improves its famous tax cuts, should be a reason to invite investors to optimism.

Trump said that if the talks are going well, he could consider reducing the customs of 145% he imposed on many Chinese goods. “The customs duties have returned to lead the market again.

Japan’s chief negotiator Riusi Akazawa coincided, saying that his country and the United States agreed to reach an agreement announced by the leaders of the two countries as soon as possible. He emphasized that Japan’s position has not changed as it will continue to reconsider different customs procedures.
