China's leader Xi Jinping took an apparent swipe at President Trumps tariffs policies on Tuesday. Why it matters: Xi's first remarks since China and the U.S. agreed to cut tariffs on each other for 90 days were far removed from those in the U.

President Donald Trump’s sky-high tariffs on imports from China had rippled through the U.S. and global economies.

Chinese imports to the U.S. dropped to their lowest levels since the pandemic as punishing tariffs began to take hold in March, according to recently released Census trade data.

The uncertainty also means companies are less willing to make new investments.
