US President Donald Trump has asked China to immediately remove all tariffs on US agricultural products. In a tweet, Mr Trump said, he made the request as trade talks between the two countries are progressing well. He also pointed out that he has not raised tariffs on Chinese goods to 25 per cent from 10 per cent on 1st March as planned.

The tweet came just hours after the US Trade Representative’s office said it would delay the scheduled hike in tariffs on 200 billion US dollars worth of Chinese goods.

There has been a trade dispute between US and China since last June, raising import tariffs on each other’s goods.
