The United States will cut the "de minimis" tariff for low-value items imported from China, a White House executive order said on Monday, further de-escalating a potentially damaging trade war between the world's two largest economies.

U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said the U.S. agreed to drop the 145% tax Trump imposed last month to 30%. China agreed to lower its tariff rate on U.S. goods to 10% from 125%. Greer and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced the tariff reductions at a news conference in Geneva.

The U.S.-China tariff deal sent the tech-heavy Nasdaq soaring, entering a bull market, and economists are optimistic that the U.S. may dodge a recession.
