President Donald Trump on Friday floated cutting tariffs on China from 145% to 80% ahead of a weekend meeting as he looks to deescalate the trade war.

Economic analyst Peter Schiff wrote on X: "Investors are excited about Trump's trade deal with the U.K., our first victory in the trade war. The effective tariff rate on U.S. goods entering the U.K. is 0.5 percent. So, from the American perspective, what we stand to win from the deal is relief from Trump's tariffs on U.K. imports."
