#TariffPause **China relaxes tariffs on U.S. products in a possible gesture of détente**

*April 25* - China has temporarily removed high tariffs on certain U.S. imports, although it denied being in active negotiations as claimed by Donald Trump.

**Key Points:**

- Exemption applied to U.S. pharmaceutical products (previously at 125% tariff)

- There are evaluations to extend the measure to 131 more categories (vaccines, chemicals, engines)

- Beijing denied Trump's statements about ongoing dialogues

- The move comes after mutual tariff war (145% U.S. vs 125% China)

*Note: The list of exemptions has not been officially confirmed.*
