Is US President Donald Trump using tariffs as a negotiating tactic?
Briefly

The United States has temporarily paused tariffs on goods from Canada and Mexico for 30 days, a move aimed at preventing a trade war among neighboring allies. In contrast, tariffs on Chinese goods have taken effect, prompting retaliation from Beijing. The Chinese government accuses the United States of unilateralism and has filed a complaint with the World Trade Organization (WTO). President Trump claims that the U.S. has been unfairly treated by other countries. The discussion raises questions about whether tariffs are an effective solution and what the broader implications might be.
President Trump’s tariffs on goods from Canada and Mexico are paused for 30 days to prevent an immediate trade war, while levies on Chinese products begin.
