Trump extends China tariff deadline by 90 days
The White House announced that President Donald Trump signed an executive order extending the pause on most U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods for 90 days, preventing a tariff spike from snapping back to April levels.
The extension was issued just hours before the current pause would have expired and follows negotiations with Chinese officials in Stockholm after earlier talks in Geneva. Officials described the move as buying time for a broader trade dialogue and keeping pressure on both sides to negotiate terms.
Key Takeaways
"A pause signals negotiation momentum more than a lasting policy shift"

"Markets watch the clock as much as the headlines"
market perspective
The decision shifts immediate market risk away and keeps trade policy unfinished, extending a period of policy ambiguity rather than delivering certainty. It signals that Washington wants more time to test potential compromises while avoiding a sudden tariff jolt for businesses.
For lawmakers and industry groups, the pause offers relief and room to evaluate concrete concessions. Critics, however, may view it as postponed disagreements or a tactical maneuver rather than a clear direction on how the United States will manage its tariffs against China.
Highlights
- A pause is not a plan, it buys time for talks.
- The extension gives negotiators room to find common ground.
- Markets watch the clock as much as the headlines.
- Policy pauses test patience and nerves on both sides.
Political and economic sensitivity risk
The extension on tariffs touches foreign policy and domestic interests, creating potential backlash among lawmakers, industry groups, and investors.
What comes next will test how durable any agreement proves to be.
