التقى مسؤولون أمريكيون وصينيون في باريس في مباحثات وصفها مصادر بأنها "صريحة ومبنية على التعاون" لتحسين العلاقات التجارية قبل قمة مخطط لها بين ترامب وشي. تركزت المناقشات على زيادة شراء الصين للمنتجات الزراعية الأمريكية وطائرات بوينغ ومنتجات الطاقة، بالإضافة إلى معالجة التحديات التي تواجه الشركات الأمريكية في سلسلة التوريد في الصين. ناقش الطرفان أيضًا إنشاء هيكل تجاري مُدار لمعالجة الفروقات التجارية المستمرة، دون الوصول إلى اتفاقيات ملموسة. تُعد هذه المباحثات مؤشرًا إيجابيًا لتخفيض التوترات التجارية، مما قد يعزز الثقة في التعاون الاقتصادي بين أكبر اقتصادين في العالم. بالنسبة للمستثمرين في الأسواق الناشئة، قد تؤثر نتائج هذه المحادثات على أسعار السلع الأولية وقطاعات الزراعة والطاقة، مما يُحفز النشاط في الأسواق العالمية. للمستثمرين في الخليج، قد تؤثر نتائج هذه المباحثات على تصدير الطاقة والمنتجات الزراعية إلى الصين، وهو سوق رئيسي للمنطقة. كما أن حل مشكلات توريد عناصر نادرة قد يُعزز قطاعات التكنولوجيا والتصنيع في دول الخليج. يُنصح بمراقبة المفاوضات التقنية القادمة وقمة ترامب- شي لمعرفة أي تغييرات سياسية ملموسة.
