U.S. President Donald Trump avoided a question on Monday about whether he would extend an August 12 deadline for higher U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods, saying, "we'll see what happens," as he lauded China's cooperation in talks with the U.

President Donald Trump told reporters Monday morning that “we’ll see what happens” when asked whether he will give China another extension to work out a deal on trade.

A 90-day pause on imposing higher tariffs on China is due to expire on Tuesday and it is unclear if it will be extended.
