US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Washington and Beijing agreed to extend their trade agreement by two months, moving the deadline from November to 10 January 2027, as Xi Jinping arrived for a US visit on 23-25 September 2026. The agenda includes AI and tariffs. For a Thai SME, this means the US-China tariff uncertainty that affects export demand, input prices and supply chains is postponed rather than resolved. Keep current supplier and pricing plans, and treat the January 2027 date as the next point to review.
