Stops the market bleeding, puts a good-faith token on the table for countries willing to negotiate with us, and screws China all in one smooth motion, sounds like.

Those who came forward were rewarded, and those who resisted are punished. Sounds like exactly what he said all along.

HALLELUJAH!

The right call.

Thrills me immensely!

China will just ship to a 3rd party country then import to USA.

FAFO and it’s about to get worse.

I suspect the pause on tariffs to 70 countries for 90 days gives us ample opportunity work out a longer term strategy with the other countries who are coming to the table quickly and our goal is not punishing them.

I won’t be surprised if they join, as allies, in on the beat down of China and severely mute the globull ambitions

[hotsteppa]

Carrot and the stick. I love it. There was no way countries were going to listen to Trump unless he showed he is serious. Now that they want to negotiate then as a good will gesture, pause them for 90 days. Stock market happy. Debbie Downers lose again.

This is classic Trump negotiation 101. Enter the room and turn over the table with a bold “lowball” offer, in this case high tariffs. This forces your negotiating counterpart(s) to reset their expectations about what they will get/deserve, then establish a new deal that is more acceptable to Trump’s perspective. It’s always a gamble, but in a deal with intractable counterparties, you have no choice but to turn over the table.

Trump announces 90-day tariff pause for at least some countries

"For at least some countries"?

You mean like ALL countries except China???

CNBC sounds like Ilhan Omar with their somebody did something headline.

Only CNBC is protecting China.

[aimhigh]

President Donald Trump on Wednesday announced a 90-day pause on the full effect of his new tariffs for at least some countries.

I would have done the opposite. I wish he had announced that once a tariff takes effect, it would remain in place for 30 days. All these (now bargaining) companies tried to call Trump's bluff, now, with no consequences.

One would think you war whores would be cheering this.

China is funding Russia’s conflict with ZooCryane and is fag run government.

So...dig at China and they wont be able to continue on like they have.
Wont have to sanction Russia and Russia will look to deal with outside trade with us after the conflict is settled.
It leaves the little fag in Zoocryane on the outside looking in.
