Claim: The US-China trade deal means both countries eliminated all tariffs

The claim that the US-China trade deal eliminated all tariffs is false. Evidence from multiple sources indicates that while there were reductions in tariffs, none were completely eliminated. For instance, the US reduced tariffs on Chinese goods to 30% from 145%, and China retained a 10% tariff on US goods. Supporters of the claim may include those optimistic about trade relations, but the actual agreements show that tariffs remain in place. Critics argue that the claim oversimplifies the complexities of the trade deal and misrepresents the current tariff landscape. All three graders point in the same direction, with minor differences. OpenAI comes in highest (10%), while Gemini is lowest (0%). While the evidence overwhelmingly indicates that tariffs were not eliminated, there may be some confusion stemming from temporary measures or reductions that could lead some to believe that a complete elimination was achieved. However, the specific details from the evidence clearly state that tariffs still exist at reduced rates. This does not change the overall verdict, as the claim asserts complete elimination, which is not supported by the evidence provided.
