Summary

• Donald Trump says the US can sign a trade deal with China "pretty soon" following talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping in South Korea
• The talks will be seen as a breakthrough after trade tensions had ramped up again between the world's two biggest economies
• Trump also announces lower tariffs "effective immediately" on Chinese imports and says Beijing will give the US better access to rare earths - what are rare earths, and why does the US need them?
• We are still awaiting details though - the two sides have been negotiating a deal for months that would decide how all of this would work
• China releases a more subdued account of the meeting, which says both sides have reached a consensus to resolve "major trade issues"
• Here's why the meeting matters - even if you're not in the US or China
• Meanwhile, there's been no word on a final deal on the sale of Chinese-owned TikTok's US operations
• Talks mark a breakthrough - but much remains before a deal is signed, writes our China correspondent
