The entire world is looking forward to ending tension between these two global superpowers. The tariffs both countries put on other products caused the world’s economy to lower the trade volumes. All of this reduced business investments on a worldwide level. Now that the deal is almost completed, we can look forward to another economic growth of both countries and the world as a whole.
