President Trump plans to issue an executive order to extend the pause on his steep, so-called reciprocal tariffs to Aug. 1, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Monday. The pause had been set to expire Wednesday.

Trump delayed the "reciprocal tariffs" in April, vowing to strike roughly 90 trade deals in 90 days. So far, the White House says it has reached trade agreements with only the United Kingdom and Vietnam, as well as a preliminary accord with China.

This follows last-minute talks by the EU, Japan, and South Korea to strike trade deals and avoid steep US tariffs.
