#TariffsPause Ah, yes, here comes Trump's new move in his endless battle with the global markets! He declared a pause in the trade wars, but, as always, everything comes with an unexpected twist. 90 days of 'silence' — but only for everyone except China. It's like telling your neighbors: 'Guys, I'm giving you a breather, but that guy over there, who hasn’t taken my money, I will definitely not forgive!'
75 countries apparently forgot that they can't negotiate with Trump without oranges and basketballs. He probably thinks that if he offers them a pause, they will all sit and wait for him to propose something. And China... well, they just didn’t realize 'at that moment' that approaching Trump with a request for negotiations is like trying to take his pizza on his birthday.
And for Europe — a pause, of course, seems not bad, but it hasn't made their economy any easier. The EU even stated that the US measures are 'harming the global economy.' Here it is, almost like in that movie: 'You're at it again, America!'
But China is out of luck. Trump is like: 'Pause for everyone except you, China.' And then those 125% tariffs, as if he's trying to stir up disagreements even more, just to keep things interesting. Investors, of course, are happy, as they always like it when trading goes on a bullish trend. But who knows how it will all end when China tries again to 'make their country great,' and Trump decides that the pause is just to move the pieces on the board for an hour.
