President of the United States, Donald Trump, has officially signed an executive order extending the deadline for the imposition of new tariffs, pushing the enforcement date to August 1. The directive, signed at the White House, signals a temporary pause in the implementation of planned trade measures that had been scheduled to take effect earlier.
The move comes amid ongoing consultations with trade partners and domestic economic stakeholders, as the U.S. administration continues to recalibrate its trade policy in response to both international pressure and internal economic considerations.
According to White House sources, the extension is aimed at allowing more time for negotiations and final adjustments, particularly in sectors where the proposed tariffs could have significant ripple effects on American businesses and consumers.
Trump administration remains firm on its protectionist trade agenda, the delay reflects a strategic decision to manage potential economic disruptions and maintain leverage in ongoing trade talks. The executive order is expected to be followed by further announcements in the coming weeks as the new deadline approaches.
