#TariffsPause
U.S. Tariff Pause Overview
On April 9, 2025, President Trump announced a 90-day suspension of his “Reciprocal Tariff Policy” for most countries, maintaining a baseline 10% tariff. However, tariffs on Chinese imports were increased to 145% . This pause was intended to alleviate market concerns and provide time for trade negotiations.
Despite this pause, President Trump indicated on April 25 that extending it beyond the initial 90 days is unlikely, suggesting a return to stricter tariff enforcement .
