Trump extends China tariff deadline by 90 days
In a statement to a White House official CNBC, President Donald Trump delayed his replacement of high US tariffs in US goods on Monday.
These tariffs will continue on Tuesday. However, according to the official, Trump signed an executive order that extended the last date until the mid -November.
The delay was expected from the latest negotiations between US commercial negotiators and Chinese colleagues in Stockholm in late July.
If the deadline had not been extended, then the US duties in the US would have returned to the place where the tariff war between the world’s largest trade countries were at the top of the top.
At that time, Trump increased his blanket tariffs in Chinese imports to 145%, and China had retaliated with 125% of the US goods.
However, the two sides agreed to pause most of these tariffs in May after the negotiators came together for the first time in Geneva. Returned US tariffs to 30%and reduced Chinese taxes to 10%.

Trump has previously announced upright tariffs on countries or certain sectors, just to scaze them, change them or pause after days or weeks.
For example, “mutual tariffs”, which initially released in early April, were rapidly paused and delayed several times before entering into force in a modified form last week.
