English term or phrase: it tackled a lot of the low-hanging fruit
Es geht um das kürzlich abgeschlossene Phase-1-Handelsabkommen zwischen China und den USA:

A Phase 1 deal was relatively easy to achieve because ***it tackled a lot of the low-hanging fruit*** — easier issues such as trade imbalances. Now that all the easy issues have been resolved, we have to expect that Phase 2 will be far more difficult to achieve.

Wie würdet ihr das formulieren?
