#TariffsPause

The spokesperson of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Lin Jian, stated that the two countries are not conducting talks with the United States.

- Treasury Secretary Scott Besant indicated that these tariff levels amount to a ban, describing the current situation as "unsustainable."
