"President Donald Trump’s latest round of tariffs were suspended for most countries for 90 days in order to conduct negotiations. Those countries will still be taxed at a 10% rate on their imports, but Chinese goods will now be tariffed at 125%."

"So what happened? Well, the stock market and the bond market were very worried that Trump’s policies were going to crush the U.S. economy. The president said he was actually looking at the bond market and was worried about it, said people were getting "yippy." They were feeling insecure. And so this morning, he privately decided with aides to put the 90-day pause on tariffs. the S&P 500 stock index shot up 9.5% as a result."

"Now, mind you, the tariffs are still in place at 10% on almost all countries. And the trade war with China has just intensified. If anything, what we saw today was that the uncertainty and the drama is going to be prolonged for at least 90 more days. The step back by Trump on tariffs is going to ease some fears that the U.S. was headed into a recession. But it’s worth noting that nothing is still clear. We don’t know, and this is going to be a big test for the economy."

STORYLINE:
President Donald Trump has launched tariff wars with almost all of America’s trading partners. And his track record of on-again, off-again new levies continued Wednesday with a 90-day pause for most nations targeted by the latest volley of import taxes, hours after they went into effect.
Just after midnight, dozens of countries began facing steeper duties from the U.S. as part of Trump’s sweeping — and self-described “reciprocal” — tariffs on foreign goods. But by Wednesday afternoon, his administration abruptly said it would suspend these higher rates for 90 days, and instead maintain a recently-imposed 10% levy on nearly all global imports.
China, however, is an exception. Trump said on social media that he would raise import taxes on China to 125% “effective immediately” — escalating tit-for-tat levies that have piled up between the two countries.
With so many back-and-forth tariff actions and threats, it can be tough to keep track of where things stand. And a number of other import taxes are still in place. Here’s a rundown of what you need to know.
Before announcing a 90-day pause, higher rates for Trump’s latest — and most sweeping — round of tariffs took effect early Wednesday.
Starting Thursday, China has already said it will tax American goods at 84%.
