Trump imposes a fresh deadline for tariffs on China.
The ongoing trade negotiations between China and the U.S. remain tense, with high tariffs on Chinese imports continuing to be a significant factor. As of August 2025, the U.S. has implemented very high tariffs on Chinese goods, averaging over 51%, covering all sectors, including technology products.
Regarding high-capacity memory chips, while specific negotiations on this product category have not been detailed, the broad tariffs impact all Chinese imports, including semiconductor and memory chip products. The high tariffs and national security-related executive orders suggest that critical technology products like memory chips are likely key points of trade and security concern in the ongoing dispute.
The U.S. has extended the deadline for imposing tariffs against China until November 9, 2025. This extension is part of attempts to negotiate and potentially reduce trade tensions, but tariffs remain significant. The U.S. has suspended some of China’s country-specific tariffs temporarily until November 10, 2025, during which a baseline 10% tariff applies.
China is pushing for the relaxation of export controls on high-capacity memory chips (HBM) in negotiations with the U.S., but the nature of these export controls is not specified in the article.
The tariffs on other countries range from 18% to 41%, with the highest tariff of 50% being imposed on Brazil. EU countries were subjected to a 15% tariff.
The U.S. Commerce Secretary, Howard Luterk, has stated that the extension of the agreement is likely. However, the exact reasons for the tariff extension are not specified in the article.
It is important to note that the tariffs mentioned in this paragraph are separate from the previously discussed tariffs between China and the U.S. The impact of these tariffs on the economies of the affected countries is not discussed in the article.
The tariff negotiations between China and the U.S. are ongoing, and unresolved trade imbalances and national security concerns remain central issues, particularly for sensitive technologies such as high-capacity memory chips. The period of agreement between China and the U.S. regarding tariffs is now extended by another 90 days.

- The ongoing trade negotiations between China and the U.S., notably focusing on policy-and-legislation and politics, continue to address critical technology products like high-capacity memory chips, given their significance in both trade and national security.
- The extension of the tariff agreement between China and the U.S. encompasses not only their ongoing negotiations but also general-news items related to the impact of tariffs on the global economy and specific product categories like high-capacity memory chips.
