$ETH ChainCatcher reports that, according to local time on April 7, the Washington Post quoted two sources stating that over the past weekend, the head of the U.S. government's efficiency department, global billionaire Musk, directly urged President Trump to cancel the new tariff policy.

The report suggests that Musk's efforts were unsuccessful. On the 7th, Trump declared that he would not suspend the 'reciprocal' tariff policy. After a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu at the White House, he told the media that he currently has no intention of suspending the tariff policy, as many economic leaders are seeking to negotiate with him. He believes that the strong enforcement of the tariff policy and conducting negotiations are not contradictory.
