90-day extension of US-China tariff truce is likely, US commerce secretary says


A 90-day extension of a US-China tariff truce is likely, US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said on Thursday, the most concrete signal from the US side about moving the deadline since bilateral talks concluded in Stockholm last week.

“I think we’re going to leave that to the trade team and to the president to make those decisions, but it feels like likely that they’re going to come to an agreement and extend that for another 90 days,” he said on Fox News when asked if the truce, which is set to expire on Tuesday, would be extended.
