President Donald Trump applauded China’s “big move” to waive import tariffs on 16 types of U.S. products days ahead of planned trade negotiations between the two countries.

The U.S. goods on the exemption list—which were initially slated for tariffs of up to 25 percent amid the U.S.-China trade war—include lubricants, anti-cancer drugs, and animal feed ingredients such as whey and fish meal, according to a China Ministry of Finance statement on its website.
