China Tariff Truce: US President Donald Trump has extended the tariff truce with China by 90 days, giving major relief to US retailers during the Christmas and holiday season. The new order delays higher tariffs until November, preventing additional costs on imported electronics, clothes, and toys during the crucial autumn shopping period.
US-China Trade Avoids Major Tariff Hike
Under the earlier plan, US tariffs were set to rise to 145% and China’s tariffs to 125%, which could have crippled trade. Trump’s order keeps US tariffs at 30% and Chinese tariffs at 10% for now. This move aims to stabilize trade between the two nations ahead of the Christmas shopping rush.
A Fresh Opportunity for US-China Talks
Trump said he has a good relationship with Chinese President Xi Jinping and wants to see if a deal can be reached. Experts believe this extension will help maintain calm between both countries and prepare the way for a possible Trump-Xi meeting in the fall to finalize trade agreements.

Economic Pressure and Shrinking Trade Deficit
According to the US Treasury, high tariffs from both countries had harmed trade. In June, the US trade deficit with China dropped to $9.5 billion, its lowest since 2004. Over the past five months, the deficit has fallen by 70%, bringing hope of easing market pressure and boosting American businesses.
