تستهدف الولايات المتحدة تمديد المهلة الزمنية لفرض التعريفات الجمركية على الصين نظرًا لتوترات التجارة العالمية

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced plans to meet with Chinese officials in Stockholm next week to discuss a possible extension of the deadline for new tariffs, signaling a potential pause in escalating trade tensions. The talks come as President Trump pushes forward with a broad tariff agenda targeting multiple countries, including the EU, Canada, and Mexico, with an August 1 deadline looming for new duties. While some officials have called the deadline 'hard,' others suggest there may be flexibility if negotiations are productive. The ongoing US-China trade talks may also address China's purchases of Russian and Iranian oil, adding another layer of complexity. Markets have responded positively to the possibility of a tariff truce, but uncertainty remains as the deadline approaches.
