The U.S.-China trade truce is extended, but if you're a business that does not make it a whole lot easier to plan.

From Marketplace, I'm Sabri Beneshaw, in for David Brancaccio. Today was supposed to be the day when U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods were going to go back to sky-high rates of 145%.

thinking of moving operations out of the U.S. Why and to where? He was thinking of Mexico or China.

He did this because of the tariffs. The key raw material is titanium,

and he can't get that anywhere else. So he thought he would keep his Texas factory for his

U.S. clients. But then for his export market, he was thinking of having his products made

entirely in China or China and Mexico.
