90 day pause on tariffs signalled by trump

"Countries have called Representatives of the United States, including the Departments of Commerce, Treasury, and the USTR, to negotiate a solution to the subjects being discussed relative to Trade, Trade Barriers, Tariffs, Currency Manipulation, and Non Monetary Tariffs, and that these Countries have not, at my strong suggestion, retaliated in any way, shape, or form 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. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"

I have raised the white flag and capitulated to the pressure; however, in no way should this be interpreted as a surrender on my part or seen as weakness. I remain very strong. Thank you for your adoration as I have earned it.

Couldn't handle a trade war with China and everyone else at the same time.

JFC what a flake. Why aren't magats making mincemeat of their orange idiot? He's failed them at every crucial (for them) turn. Turn and run like the coward you are, run Trump, run.

Demonstrating how much "control" he has.

It's bogus in the end, though.
