Summary
This executive order continues a suspension of heightened reciprocal tariffs on imports from China through November 10, 2026, implementing a trade agreement reached between the United States and China on October 30, 2025. Under the agreement, China commits to reducing export controls on rare earth elements and critical minerals, purchasing U.S. agricultural products, and suspending retaliatory tariffs, while the U.S. maintains the lower 10 percent tariff rate rather than imposing higher reciprocal duties.
