SUMMARY: President Donald Trump is reportedly set to receive a luxury Boeing 747-8 jet from the Qatari royal family during his upcoming Middle East trip.

The talks are the first face-to-face discussions, following steep U.S. tariffs of up to 145% and Chinese retaliations up to 125%, severely disrupting $660 billion in trade. Despite limited details and cautious optimism, even a minor tariff reduction could help restore market confidence amid a complex trade war fueled by issues like fentanyl imports and China’s trade deficit.
