US President Donald Trump hit pause on sweeping global tariffs as he announced a 90-day freeze for all countries except China. As countries got a temporary reprieve, Donald Trump imposed a 125 percent tariff on all Chinese imports. Beijing immediately retaliated as it slapped 84 percent tariffs on American goods- escalating the trade war between the world’s top two economies.
The White House doubled down on its pressure campaign on other countries while making an example out of China. In a blunt message to other nations, the White House said, “DO NOT RETALIATE AND YOU WILL BE REWARDED."
Donald Trump’s Pause On Tariffs
Donald Trump said he paused the imposition of higher tariffs on many countries because people “were getting a little bit yippy." He said, “Well, I thought that people were jumping a little bit out of line. They were getting yippy, you know, they were getting a little bit yippy, a little bit afraid, unlike these champions, because we have a big job to do."
He added, “No other president would have done what I did. No other president. And it had to be done."
