President Donald Trump has announced a 90-day delay on new “reсiprocal tariffs” and offered a reducеd 10% rate for nations that refrain from retaliаting—news that sent U.S. stock markets climbing.
President Trump shared the tariff update through a post on his social media platform, Truth Social. “At some point, hopefully in the near future, China will realize that the days of ripping off the U.S.A., and other Countries, is no longer sustainable or acceptable,” President Trump wrote.
President Trump stated that more than 75 countries have contacted U.S. officials—including representatives from the Departments of Commerce, Treasury, and the U.S. Trade Representative—to engage in talks on trade issues ranging from tariffs and trade barriers to currency manipulation. He added that, at his urging, these nations have so far refrained from retaliatory actiоns against the United States.
“I have authorized a [90-day] PAUSE, and a substantially lowered Reciprocal Tariff during this period, of 10%, also effective immediately,” President Trump added.
