China and U.S. Agree to Temporary Trade Truce
---------------------------------------------

At the G20 summit in Argentina, President Trump and Chinese President Xi
Jinping have agreed to a truce in the ongoing trade war between the two
countries. Trump will reportedly temporarily halt his plan to raise the
current U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods from 10 to 25 percent, while China
has agreed to increase its purchase of agricultural and industrial
products from the U.S., as well as halt the export of fentanyl, a
synthetic opioid, to the U.S.
