According to CNBC, President Trump says he will delay additional China tariffs originally scheduled to start on March 1. In a series of posts on Twitter, President Trump indicated a delay for the imposition of “List 3” of duties under Section 301 because of “substantial progress” in trade talks currently underway between the US and China.

While the tweets hint at a delay, there was no hint of a revised deadline to reach an agreement with China. Time will tell whether the US and China can reach an agreement on the key issues of intellectual property protection and forced technology transfer.

In other news, a late March meeting between President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping will likely occur at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago golf club in Palm Beach, Florida.

More updates will be posted as they became available.
