US President Donald Trump is expected to sign an order Monday postponing a deadline for higher tariffs to take effect on dozens of economies ranging from the EU to Japan, the White House said.

The July 9 deadline for steeper levies would be pushed back to August 1, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters, adding that Trump would address foreign leaders with their “reciprocal tariff rate” within the next month.
