Just hours after implementing tariffs of varying levels on trade partners worldwide, President Donald Trump said he would pause the 'reciprocal' import taxes for 90 days.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump said the pause would be effective immediately and the base tariff of 10% will still be enforced. He said he felt the pause was needed because more than 75 countries had contacted his administration to make trade deals.

As I recall SCOTUS said he can deport as long as some due process exists. The judge seems likely to be making an order in contradiction to the SCOTUS.
Feels like we folded.
Okay then.
Wrong thread?
Dow up 2000 on this.
Did you post on the wrong thread? This one is about tariffs.
Jamieson Greer will have a busy summer.
I’d suggest that his big target is China. Most other countries are in his “give me a better deal and we’re friends” category. Allegedly most our big “friends” have privately agreed to renegotiate the trade balance, which is apparently all he wants from them. A better deal, not to crush them. China is a different story because of how aggressive they’ve been in economic war with us for decades.
Ya I did, sorry
He wants to decouple from China, I agree China IS the biggest problem here!!!
What about the baseline 10% tariff? I thought that was a good idea.
The Art of the Deal
Waiting for a Fed Judge to order Trump to put the Tariffs back? /sarc
Either that or it's like he said and they need 90 days to work out the deals. Who do you trust? Who do you believe?
It’s possible that today’s Trump move is more effective because of the context, including steps the “experts” hated.
Now I’m starting to believe Trump. He did nothing to relieve the China tariffs if reports are accurate.
100%! It’s so obvious how much the “China madness” has been for America since Nixon. Last chance to rearrange the board pieces before we collapse.
Gold up over $100 an ounce. Wow.
I would say you are on the wrong thread but these days some Family Court judge from Boonton NJ could have issued the stay on the tariffs based on due process for illegals and it would have been totally normal.
