Trump Signs Executive Order Extending Tariff Truce Deadline With China By 90 Days
The executive order was issued a day after President Trump urged China to significantly increase its purchases of US soybeans. US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order on Monday, extending the tariff truce deadline with China by 90 days, Reuters reported, citing a White House official. The order follows high-level talks between top officials from both countries, who met in Stockholm in July to explore the possibility of shifting the deadline to reach a negotiated agreement on tariffs. A White House official confirmed the latest decision, which came just hours before US tariffs on Chinese goods were due to revert to triple-digit rates. The previously agreed tariff truce between Beijing and Washington was scheduled to expire at 00:01 ET on Tuesday. The executive order, signed on Monday, was issued a day after President Trump urged China to significantly increase its purchases of US soybeans by as much as fourfold. At the same time, Washington has been pressuring Beijing to halt imports of Russian oil, with Trump warning of potential secondary tariffs on Chinese entities found violating the directive. When asked by reporters during a press conference on Monday whether he intended to extend the deadline, Trump responded, 'We'll see what happens. They've been dealing quite nicely. The relationship is very good with President Xi (Jinping) and myself." Without the order being passed, US tariffs on Chinese goods would have surged by 145%, while Chinese tariffs on American goods were set to rise to 125%. At present, imports from China into the US are subject to a 30% tariff, which includes a 10% base rate and an additional 20% imposed in relation to fentanyl-related policy measures. These rates were implemented by Washington earlier this year, between February and March. In response, China currently levies a 10% tariff on goods imported from the US. Both nations have made repeated efforts in recent months to reach a consensus on tariff policy, following the imposition of reciprocal triple-digit tariffs. In May, during a meeting in Geneva, Switzerland, the two sides agreed on a temporary truce, initiating a 90-day period for continued negotiations. They met again in Stockholm, Sweden, in late July, although no official extension was announced at the time. However, both parties described the talks as constructive, signalling the possibility of a truce extension. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

‘Even Toilet Paper Will Cost More': Late-Night Comedians Colbert, Fallon Roast Trump's India Tariffs With Brutal Punchlines
Washington: US President Donald Trump's trade policy has drawn fire not only from diplomats and economists, but from America's most popular late-night comedians. Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Fallon used their Thursday shows to take aim at his new 50 percent tariff on Indian goods. The penalty on India comes in two stages: a 25 percent hike that came into effect from August 7, followed by another 25 per cent due on August 27. Washington says the move is punishment for New Delhi's continued purchase of Russian oil. The tariffs apply to a long list of products, from medical supplies to everyday consumer items. On The Late Show, Colbert went straight for humour. He told viewers that the tariffs would push up the price of gauze, bandages and even wading. 'Perfect time to introduce my new product, Steve's wad. What is in them? What do you care? You are bleeding. It is a wad,' he joked. He kept the jabs coming. 'I hope you remembered to set your clocks back to 'more expensive',' Colbert said, referring to the scale of the global tariff rollout. He called the hikes 'huge' and emphasised that they raised import taxes to the highest level since the Great Depression of 1929. 'Never a great sign to be compared to the worst thing ever,' he quipped. Colbert pointed out that Brazil, like India, is also facing the full 50 percent tariff. 'Bad news for meat-based Americans,' he deadpanned. Jimmy Fallon, who hosts NBC's Tonight Show, joined in the mockery. 'Today more of President Trump's tariffs went into effect for more than 90 countries, including Canada, Brazil and India. The only places Trump did not charge are North Korea and Epstein Island,' he told his audience. The line landed in the wake of renewed scrutiny of the Trump's administration's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. Fallon said that Brazil's tariff will hit tropical fruit prices hard. 'Fifty per cent on Brazil will dramatically raise the price of bananas, mangos and pineapples. Edible Arrangements was like, 'As long as you do not raise the price of cantaloupe and long toothpicks, we are good,'' he said. Even everyday staples, Fallon warned, would not be spared. 'Toilet paper will get more expensive. You know it is bad when people come out of the bathroom like, 'Hey, where is that long CVS receipt?'' he said. Covering over 90 nations, the latest round of tariffs has set the stage for a prolonged trade confrontation. In the meantime, Colbert and Fallon seem determined to keep turning the policy into late-night punchlines.

'Trump proud s*xual assaulter': Martina Navratilova calls out Donald Trump after Mike Tyson comment resurfaces
Martina Navratilova calls out Donald Trump after Mike Tyson comment resurfaces (Image via Getty) US President Donald Trump's controversial statement about boxer Mike Tyson has resulted in Martina Navratilova, a tennis star, condemning him more recently. This occurred as Trump is under rising queries over his relationships with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, who passed in prison in August 2019. The remark Trump made concerned Mike Tyson's 1992 rape conviction. Navratilova called out Trump for always defending men accused of sexual crimes, calling him a 'proud sexual assaulter and an adjudicated rapist.' Martina Navratilova blasts Donald Trump over Mike Tyson's rape case comments Six years in jail was Mike Tyson's sentence in 1992 when he was convicted of raping a beauty pageant candidate aged 18. Donald Trump then surprised several by claiming the penalty was too severe on Late Night with David Letterman. Trump also accused the young woman, claiming she was "dancing at his door at one o'clock in the morning." These phrases enraged people since they looked to absolve Tyson's crime. Years later, in August 2025, an X (previously Twitter) user reposted Trump's previous remarks. Having been very vocal against Trump for years, Martina Navratilova saw this and reacted strongly. She wrote on X that Trump has always made excuses for rapists like Tyson. Navratilova, a Czech-American and winner of 18 Grand Slam singles titles, has never been shy about speaking out. She called Trump a 'proud sexual assaulter' and said he has a long history of defending men accused of sexual violence. Also Read: 'More than any American Culture': Martina Navratilova once shared how Chris Evert's Catholic upbringing shaped her tennis image Martina Navratilova responds to Trump's recent accusations amid Epstein file controversy In July 2025, Donald Trump made new shocking claims. He said that his name was wrongly put in Jeffrey Epstein's secret files by former FBI Director James B. Comey, former US Attorney General Merrick Garland, and former President Joe Biden. Trump called the situation 'a hoax' and accused those leaders of trying to hurt him. This was reported by American lawyer Ron Filipkowski on X. Martina Navratilova responded to Filipkowski's post by saying Trump's assertions demonstrate his "fear." Navratilova, 68, keeps speaking out against Trump's words and deeds even when his admirers attack her. She champions survivors of abuse and violence and remains steadfast in pointing out what she considers to be wrong. Catch Rani Rampal's inspiring story on Game On, Episode 4. Watch Here!
