President Donald Trump holds the authority to decide if the trade truce between the United States and China will be extended, according to statements by U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Tuesday.

An extension of 90 days is under consideration, as confirmed by U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, with trade negotiators from both nations expected to reconvene in about three months.

The confirmation follows two days of bilateral discussions in Stockholm aimed at mitigating tariff tensions between the world's two largest economies.
