The US and China have agreed to a framework that restores a truce in their trade war after two days of talks in London.

The United States and China say they’ve reached in principle a framework to roll back some of the punitive measures they have taken against each other’s economies.

The plan reached after talks in London marks the latest twist in a trade war that has threatened to disrupt global supply chains.
