#TariffPause

President Donald Trump has announced a 90-day pause on "reciprocal" tariffs for most countries, with the exception of China. This pause is intended to provide time for trade negotiations and is not influenced by bond market fluctuations.

The pause was announced on April 9, 2025, following market volatility and concerns from business leaders. Trump emphasized that the freeze would remain until "desired figures are achieved," signaling that the pause is contingent on favorable trade deals being secured.
