President Donald Trump suggested lowering tariffs on China ahead of trade talks. By how much? From current 145 percent levels down to 80 percent. China currently has 125 percent tariffs on U.S.-made goods. Trump’s treasury secretary and Chinese officials will meet this weekend.

The president said reducing tariffs to 80 percent from the current 145 percent “sounds right,” as U.S. and Chinese negotiators prepare to meet in Switzerland.

The meeting is the strongest sign yet that the world's two biggest economies are ready to de-escalate their trade war.
