US and China are already feuding again after unexpected trade truce
- The United States and China agreed to a temporary tariff truce in May 2025 with a 90-day window to negotiate a broader trade deal.
- The truce follows U.S. Warnings against using Huawei's advanced AI Ascend chips, which Beijing says undermines prior trade consensus and escalates tensions.
