Trump signs order extending China tariff truce by 90 days, White House says

UNITED STATES, AUG 12 – The 90-day extension maintains tariffs at 30% for US imports from China and 10% for Chinese imports, delaying a trade war and allowing ongoing negotiations to continue.

  • With the Tuesday deadline looming, President Donald Trump signed an executive order Monday evening extending the U.S.-China tariff truce until 12:01 a.m. ET on November 10.
  • Amid mounting tariff tensions, Geneva talks in May lowered U.S. tariffs from 145% to 30% and China’s from 125% to 10%, starting May 14.
  • Under the current arrangement, U.S. reciprocal tariffs on Chinese goods are 30%, while China's are 10%, but without the extension, rates could have jumped to 145% and 125%.
  • US-China Business Council president Sean Stein said the extension is 'critical to give the two governments time to negotiate an agreement' until mid-November, offering certainty but no long-term guarantees.
  • Looking beyond the extension, Jeff Moon predicts tougher issues will linger and the trade conflict may continue grinding ahead for years, as negotiations extend into fall.
