NEW YORK, June 12 (Xinhua) — The United States may extend a government-set deadline for trade talks with more partners, U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday.
The current deadline for concluding trade agreements is July 8. D. Trump expressed a willingness to push it back, but added that he did not consider it necessary.
According to the president, trade negotiations are underway with about 15 partners, including the Republic of Korea, Japan and the EU.
Meanwhile, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told lawmakers Wednesday that Trump would “highly likely” push back the deadline to continue trade talks and reach deals with major trading partners. There are 18 major trading partners in talks with the United States, he said.
The Trump administration is intensively negotiating trade with dozens of partners at once. In May, only a deal was announced with the UK.
The White House has decided to delay the imposition of “equivalent” tariffs on more than 60 trading partners for 90 days, until July 8. –0–
