The term "TariffsPause" gained prominence in April 2025, when the President of the United States, Donald Trump, announced a 90-day pause on the enforcement of tariffs on various countries, with the exception of China. This measure was a response to pressures from businesspeople, lawmakers, and foreign governments, as well as a negative reaction from financial markets.

The European Union, for example, temporarily suspended its countermeasures against U.S. tariffs, awaiting the unfolding of negotiations. Mexico also managed to secure a one-month pause on the 25% tariffs imposed by Trump, in exchange for sending 10,000 Mexican soldiers to reinforce security at the border and combat drug trafficking and illegal immigration.
