根据社交媒体上的一份声明,在最后期限生效前几个小时,唐纳德·特朗普总统签署了一项行政命令,将美国和中国的贸易休战再延长90天。
“我刚刚签署了一项行政命令,将对中国的关税暂停再延长90天。该协议的所有其他要素都将保持不变,”特朗普写道。
新的截止日期将于11月9日到期。凌晨12点01分
在周一早些时候的新闻发布会上,当被问及总统是否打算延长中国贸易休战期限时,特朗普拒绝回答。中国贸易休战期限原定于周一午夜结束。
“我们将拭目以待,”特朗普说。
在贸易休战之前,目前对进入美国的中国进口商品征收的关税为145%。
Trump extends trade truce with China for another 90 days
Hours before the deadline was to go into effect, President Donald Trump signed an executive order extending the United States and China trade truce another 90 days, according to an announcement on social media.
“I have just signed an Executive Order that will extend the Tariff Suspension on China for another 90 days. All other elements of the Agreement will remain the same,” Trump wrote.
The new deadline will expire on Nov. 9. at 12:01 a.m.
When asked during the press conference earlier Monday if the president intends to extend the China trade-truce deadline, which was previously set to end Monday night at midnight, Trump declined to answer.
“We’ll see what happens,” Trump said.
Ahead of the trade truce, the current tariff rate on Chinese imports entering the U.S. was 145%.
