Deep dives
Trump's Tariff Reversal Amid Economic Turmoil
Donald Trump paused most tariffs for 90 days, reacting to economic turmoil and rising government bond yields that threatened to lead to a financial crisis. This decision to delay tariffs came just hours after they were set to take effect and was marked by pressure from business leaders and advisers. Trump's administration claimed this was all part of a planned negotiation strategy, despite previous assertions that tariffs would bring back jobs and stabilize markets. However, this maneuver raises questions about the credibility of Trump's tariffs, which had been previously justified as a means to negotiate trade deals and protect the U.S. economy.
