India, Aug. 12 -- US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order extending the China tariff deadline for another 90 days, CNBC reported on Monday, citing a White House official.

The development comes just hours after Trump avoided a question about whether he would extend an August 12 deadline for higher US tariffs on Chinese goods.

"We'll see what happens," President Trump said as he lauded China's cooperation in talks with the US.
