In a strategic move to ease international tensions, President Donald Trump has extended the current trade truce with China for an additional 90 days. This extension averts an imminent economic confrontation between the world's largest economies by reallocating time for critical negotiations.

The decision was publicized on Trump's Truth Social platform where he confirmed signing the executive order. The extension maintains existing agreement terms and has been widely welcomed by American businesses that are eager for improved access to Chinese markets.

Despite the temporary relief, unresolved issues, such as intellectual property protection and industrial policy conflicts, continue to loom large. Experts suggest these challenges will drive ongoing trade negotiations and strategic posturing from both global powers in the coming years.
