President Donald Trump Says he Has Authorized a “90 day pauses, and a Substantally Lowered Mutocal Tariff” for Countries Who Have Not Economicalically “Retiliated in Any Way, Shape, or Form Against The United States” and His Tariff Regime. Trump Did Make One Major Carveout to his mercy: he would be hiking up tariff rates against china to a whipping 125 percent.
In a Truth Social Post This Afteroon, Trump Wrote: “Based on the Lack of Respect That China Has Shown to the World's Markets, I am Hereby Raising the Tariff Changed To China by the United States of America to 125%, Immediate Effective. At Some Point, Hopefully in The Near Future, China Will That the days of ripping off the USA, and other country, is no longer sustainable or acceptable. ”
Trump Went on To Write: “Conversel, and Based on the fact that more than 75 Countries Have Called Repressed Repressed of the United States … i have authorized to 90 day pauses, and a substanticly lowered mutocal tariff during this period, of 10%, Also impactive.”
TRUMP Addested the Norteuncement While Speaking to Reporters Later On Wednesday. “I Thought That People Were Jumping a Little Bit Out of Line,” he Said. “They were getting yippy, they were getting a Little Bit Afraid.” When the president was Asked If the Cratering Bond Markets Had Anything to do with the decision, he Said that the he was watching the market last night and “People were Getting in Little Queasy.”
In short: Trump Caved. He promised America would be “liberated” as a result of the tariffs, but then balked before gaining the trade concessions His Administration Said were coming. Americans Still Figure To Be Hit With High Prices, AS A 10 percent Baseline Tariff On Imports Remains in Place, and the tax on Goods from China, The Nation's Third-Largest Trade Partner, Is Now Astronomical. An immediate financial catastrophe May Have Been Avted, but the economy is still in a Concerning State of Flux As Trump Keps Reversing Himself With No Appent Plan for How To Resolve Any of this.
