US President Donald Trump called a truce to the US-China trade and technology war at the G-20 summit which was held in Osaka from 28 to 29 June, 2019. He said that the US would not impose new tariffs on about USD 300 billion worth of Chinese imports and would allow American firms to sell products and services to the Chinese telecom giant, Huawei. But details of what else was agreed between Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping on the sidelines of the summit are unclear.
