Trump's 90-Day Tariff Pause
Donald Trump has announced a 90-day pause on his previously planned tariff increases, reducing tariffs to a cap of 10% for all goods except for China, which will face a 125% tariff. This decision comes in response to significant economic turmoil, including collapsing stock prices and rising bond yields. The move has been characterized as a capitulation to the market's reaction to his initial tariff announcements, demonstrating a lack of cohesive strategy in his economic policies. While the pause aims to alleviate some immediate pressure, it still leaves consumers facing higher prices due to the retained 10% tariff on most goods.
