The White House on November 4, 2025, posted on its website two executive orders addressing trade relations with China and the synthetic opioid supply chain.

The first executive order modifies reciprocal tariff rates as part of the economic and trade arrangement between the United States and China announced on November 1, 2025 (read TradeNewsFlash). China has committed to eliminating coercive export controls and increasing purchases of U.S. agricultural products. In response, the United States will maintain the suspension of heightened tariffs on Chinese imports until November 10, 2026.

The second executive order reduces duties addressing the synthetic opioid supply chain from China. Initially imposed to counter the influx of synthetic opioids, the duty rate will decrease from 20% to 10% effective November 10, 2025, following China's commitment to curb the flow of fentanyl to the United States.
