US and China Hit Pause on Tariffs, Comprehensive Deal Expected​

[VIDEO]

Markets soar as tariffs fall. President Donald Trump is claiming a big win. Is this the beginning of the end or just a pause in the U.S.–China trade war? Trump says China agreed to stop sending fentanyl to America. Despite that, the existing 20 percent tariff punishing Beijing for its role in the drug crisis remains in place. China isn't giving ground on rare earth, at least for now. Beijing is keeping export controls in place for several rare earth minerals. We have details on Trump's plan to counter this. The United States is relying more on China for pharmaceuticals, and experts are concerned this poses a national security threat. NTD’s data reporter Kevin Hogan breaks it down. A line of devices may look and act like video games, but they're really vapes, and are more likely to get kids addicted to them. The FDA is now taking counter-measures against the Chinese-made devices.
