The move delays a scheduled increase in tariffs on hundreds of billions of dollars’ worth of Chinese imports, which would have seen some rates jump to triple-digit levels.
The extension follows weeks of high-level negotiations between US and Chinese officials aimed at resolving ongoing trade disputes. Talks are expected to continue during the truce period, though no new trade framework has been announced.
