In response to a global market downturn, President Trump announced a 90-day pause on tariffs affecting most nations, while increasing the tax rate on Chinese imports to 125%. This shift aims to narrow the trade conflict predominantly to the U.S.-China dynamic. The S&P 500 index rose sharply after the announcement, although the turbulent nature of the tariffs remains a concern for many. Trump's actions were motivated by pressure from market volatility and the backlash from voters, indicating the administration's need for ongoing negotiations and adjustments.
Facing a global market meltdown, President Trump's pause on tariffs serves as a strategic move to engage in more targeted negotiations, particularly with China.

With over 75 countries reaching out for trade talks, Trump's decision to implement a 90-day pause reflects the intense pressure from both the market and voters.
