أَعْلَنَ وَزيرُ الخَزانَةِ الأَمْريكِيُّ سْكوتْ بِيسِنْتُ، يَوْمَ الأَرْبِعاءِ 23 سِبْتَمْبَرَ، أَنَّ الوِلاياتِ المُتَّحِدَةَ وَالصِّينَ اتَّفَقَتا عَلى تَمْديدِ التَّهْدِئَةِ التِّجارِيَّةِ بَيْنَهُما لِشَهْرَيْنِ. وَسَتَسْتَمِرُّ التَّهْدِئَةُ حَتّى العاشِرِ مِنْ يَنايِرَ 2027، بَعْدَ أَنْ كانَ مَوْعِدُ انْتِهائِها العاشِرَ مِنْ نُوفَمْبَرَ.
وَجاءَ الإِعْلانُ بَعْدَ لِقاءٍ في واشِنْطُنَ بَيْنَ بِيسِنْتَ وَنائِبِ رَئيسِ الوُزَراءِ الصِّينِيِّ خَهْ ليفِنْغَ. وَقالَ بِيسِنْتُ إِنَّ التَّمْديدَ يُعْطي الجانِبَيْنِ وَقْتًا إِضافِيًّا لِدِراسَةِ إِمْكانِ اتِّفاقٍ اقْتِصادِيٍّ أَكْبَرَ.
وَكانَ اتِّفاقُ بوسانَ السّابِقُ قَدْ أَوْقَفَ زِيادَةَ الرُّسومِ الجُمْرُكِيَّةِ وَالخُطُواتِ التِّجارِيَّةِ المُتَبادَلَةِ بَيْنَ البَلَدَيْنِ. وَلٰكِنَّ قَضايا مُهِمَّةً ما زالَتْ قائِمَةً، مِنْها المَعادنُ النّادِرَةُ وَالقُيودُ عَلى الرَّقائِقِ التِّكْنولوجِيَّةِ.
وَيُعْطي التَّمْديدُ الشَّرِكاتِ وَقْتًا أَكْبَرَ لِلتَّخْطيطِ، وَقَدْ يُقَلِّلُ خَطَرَ رَفْعِ الرُّسومِ في الوَقْتِ الحاضِرِ. لٰكِنَّهُ لَيْسَ اتِّفاقًا دائِمًا، وَسَيَحْتاجُ البَلَدانِ إِلى مُحادَثاتٍ أُخْرى لِحَلِّ خِلافاتِهِما.

Washington and Beijing Extend Their Trade Truce Until January 10
U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced on Wednesday, September 23, that the United States and China had agreed to extend their trade truce for two months. The truce will continue until January 10, 2027, after it had been due to end on November 10.
The announcement came after a meeting in Washington between Bessent and Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng. Bessent said the extension gives both sides additional time to consider the possibility of a larger economic agreement.
The earlier Busan agreement had stopped increases in tariffs and mutual trade measures between the two countries. However, important issues remain, including rare minerals and restrictions on advanced technology chips.
The extension gives companies more time to plan and may reduce the immediate risk of higher tariffs. However, it is not a permanent agreement, and the two countries will need further talks to resolve their disagreements.
