President Donald Trump has signed an executive order to temporarily delay for 90 days the implementation of tariffs on Chinese goods, just hours before a previous pause on the levies was set to expire.
He made the announcement in a brief post on Truth Social Monday evening, after saying at a press conference that he was making progress in negotiations with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
“We’ll see what happens. They’ve been dealing quite nicely. The relationship is very good with President Xi and myself,” Trump said earlier on Monday.
