President Donald Trump signed an executive order on August 11, 2025, extending the tariff truce with China by 90 days, delaying the scheduled increase in punitive tariffs until November 10, 2025. This extension maintains U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods at 30% and China’s tariffs on U.S. goods at 10%, averting a rise to triple-digit levels. The pause follows constructive trade talks, including a recent meeting in Stockholm, and aims to provide more time for negotiations on critical issues such as technology export controls, agricultural trade, and the large U.S. trade deficit with China. Both nations emphasized the importance of maintaining the truce to stabilize global markets while preparing for a potential summit between Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping later this year. Despite progress, challenges remain, especially concerning technology transfers and China’s demands for tariff reductions. The agreement reflects ongoing complex economic and security considerations shaping U.S.-China relations.
