President Trump plans to issue an executive order to extend the pause on his steep, so-called reciprocal tariffs to Aug. 1, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Monday. The pause had been set to expire Wednesday.

President Trump is slated to sign an executive order to delay Wednesday's deadline until August 1. The tariff rates were initially set in April. Meanwhile, Trump met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as there's a renewed push for a ceasefire in Gaza.

Trump delayed the "reciprocal tariffs" in April, vowing to strike roughly 90 trade deals in 90 days. So far, the White House says it has reached trade agreements with only the United Kingdom and Vietnam, as well as a preliminary accord with China.
