President Donald Trump has announced a 90-day delay on the full effect of his new tariffs for certain countries, citing ongoing negotiations with more than 75 nations. The pause is aimed at giving room for diplomatic talks to resolve trade disputes sparked by Trump’s aggressive new tariff strategy.
Simultaneously, Trump took a hardline stance against China, declaring on social media that tariffs on Chinese imports would immediately rise to 125%. He justified the move by accusing China of showing “a lack of respect” to global markets.
The dual announcements reflect Trump’s mix of economic pressure and strategic flexibility as global backlash builds. While some countries are granted temporary relief, others—like China—are facing intensified pressure.
Trump’s tariff policy continues to fuel global uncertainty, with many nations scrambling to enter negotiations and avoid long-term damage to trade ties with the U.S.
