US Expected to Delay New Tariffs Until After Xi-Trump Summit
The United States is expected to delay announcing new tariffs targeting excess manufacturing capacity among trading partners until after the upcoming summit between Presidents Xi Jinping and Donald Trump. The postponement may serve as leverage in trade negotiations. While the administration had planned to release a report recommending tariffs on Chinese goods, the final tariff rates and timing remain uncertain. China has urged the US to honor previous trade commitments to avoid exceeding agreed tariff levels.
