August 11, 2025- A 90-day pause on imposing higher tariffs on China is due to expire on Tuesday and it is unclear if it will be extended, according to AP News. After the most recent round of China-U.S. trade talks, held late last month in Stockholm, Chinese and U.S. officials said they expected the deadline to be extended for another 90 days. After the talks, President Trump’s advisers were optimistic that the president would sign off on the arrangement, but thus far he has not publicly granted China an extension, according to The New York Times. If the tariffs snap back into place, it would escalate a trade war between the world’s two largest economies that rattled global markets earlier this year.
