U.S.-China trade truce extended to January 10 as Xi visits Washington
US-China trade truce extends to Jan. 10, keeping tariffs lower and rare earths flowing Talks continue on trade and export controls as both sides leave key disputes unresolved
The United States and China have agreed to extend their trade truce until January 10, according to U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. The deal keeps tariffs lower for longer and allows rare earth supplies to continue flowing while both sides keep talking.
Bessent made the announcement as Chinese President Xi Jinping arrived in Washington, D.C. for a state visit that runs through Friday. The original oneyear truce, reached last October, had been due to expire in November.
The extension comes as the two governments continue discussions on trade, export controls and other economic issues. Officials and analysts say the move leaves key disputes unresolved, even as both sides signal that further talks are likely.
