WASHINGTON (AA) - US President Donald Trump signed an executive order Monday that extends the date on which reciprocal tariffs will take effect to Aug. 1.

"I have determined, based on additional information and recommendations from various senior officials, including information on the status of discussions with trading partners, that it is necessary and appropriate to extend the suspension effectuated by Executive Order 14266 until 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time on August 1, 2025," Trump said in the executive order, which was published by the White House.

The previous deadline had been July 9.

With respect to China, the separate tariff suspension effectuated by Executive Order 14298 of May 12 remains in effect and is unaltered by this order, it said.

Earlier, Trump announced tariff rates for several countries, including Japan and South Korea.
