<h1>China-US extend tariff pause, keep current rates while discussing trade, investment, and export controls under ongoing talks</h1> China and the United States agreed to extend their current tariff pauses following two days of trade talks in Stockholm, maintaining US tariffs on Chinese goods at 30% and Chinese tariffs on US products at 10%. The discussions were described as constructive and candid, covering microeconomic issues and ongoing communication on trade and economic matters. The extension follows a previous 90-day tariff pause set to expire in August. Additional topics included market access, Chinese investment in the US, fentanyl components, Chinese purchases of Russian and Iranian oil, and US export controls on technology. While no final deal was confirmed, the talks aim to stabilize trade relations and potentially pave the way for a summit between senior leaders. Both sides acknowledged ongoing tensions but emphasized the importance of continued dialogue to address trade disputes and seek longer-term economic balance.
