• The White House clarifies that US President Donald Trump’s hike in tariffs has taken his levies this year on imports from China to a total of 145 percent, not the previously reported 125 percent.
• China’s Ministry of Commerce says while the “door to dialogue is open”, Beijing is willing to “fight to the end”.
• The European Union has put its counter tariffs on hold after Trump announced a 90-day pause on his “reciprocal tariffs” on nearly 60 countries while keeping a baseline 10 percent tariff in place.
• The bloc’s Ursula von der Leyen warns, however, that if negotiations with Washington “are not satisfactory, our countermeasures will kick in”.
