Did the U.S. and China agree to extend their trade truce through January 10?

Yes. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the United States and China agreed to extend their bilateral trade truce—often called the Busan Agreement—through January 10. The arrangement had been scheduled to expire on November 10.

Bessent announced the extension after meeting China’s vice premier, He Lifeng, in Washington as President Xi Jinping began a state visit. He said the extra time is meant to keep working on the economic relationship and that a larger deal by January is possible, or the current pact could simply be rolled forward again.
