The United States and China have agreed to extend their tariff truce by 90 days, giving negotiators more time to work on a broader trade settlement, according to statements from the White House and China’s commerce ministry.

The extension delays a new round of tariff pressure while the two sides continue discussions over market access, technology restrictions, and other long-running trade disputes. The move offers temporary relief for businesses that have faced uncertainty over costs and supply chains.

Although the latest deal buys both governments more time, it does not resolve the core disagreements that have driven the trade conflict for years. Officials on both sides have signaled that talks are continuing, but no final agreement has been announced.

The temporary pause underscores how fragile the relationship remains between the world’s two largest economies, with future negotiations likely to shape tariffs, investment rules, and global trade conditions in the months ahead.
