What happened

Well supportedReported by 4 independent outlets

Donald Trump announced that foreign companies selling goods in the United States would have roughly 18 months to build factories in the U.S. or face tariffs ranging from 150% to 300% on goods from countries including China, South Korea, Japan, and Canada. Despite these threats, the United States and China agreed to extend their existing trade truce for two months, pushing it into January 2027, and agreed to pursue lower tariffs on about $30 billion of goods in each direction.
