Following talks over the weekend in Geneva, Switzerland, the U.S. and China agreed to a 90-day pause on the ongoing trade war between both countries.

Under the newly announced agreement, the previous 125% tariff on Chinese imports will be reduced to the baseline rate of 10% beginning May 14.

The 20% tariff levied by the U.S. in February on China under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act remains in effect, as well as 25% tariffs on steel and aluminum (Sec. 232) and all tariffs imposed under President Trump's first term.
