US President Donald Trump on Monday ordered a delay in the reimposition of higher tariffs on Chinese goods, hours before a trade truce between Washing

Donald Trump has extended a trade war truce with China for another 90 days, two US officials have said, just hours before his Tuesday deadline to steepen tariffs on the world’s biggest exporter. The US president’s move was widely expected because his government has been reluctant to reignite the fierce trade conflict with Beijing that rattled markets in April when US levies on Chinese imports rose up to 145 per cent.

The U.S.-Russia summit in Alaska is happening at a site where East meets West in a place familiar to both countries as a Cold War front line of missile defense, radar outposts and intelligence gathering.

President Donald Trump said Monday that he expected to determine mere moments into his meeting with Russian leader Vladimir Putin this week whether it would be possible to work out a deal to halt the war in Ukraine.
