The United States and China have been on the brink of a trade war for awhile now with US President Trump saying that the United States has been getting the short end of the stick in its trade deals with China and wants to significantly decrease the United States's trade deficit with China. It seems that President Trump will get his wish as Washington and Beijing released a statement saying that the deficit will be reduced but did not give a specific number. This is very important to other foreign policy because China seems to be the best bet for the United States to try and achieve denuclearization with North Korea in the summit next month.
