#TariffsPause Pause on U.S. Trade Tariffs

In April 2025, the United States government, under the administration of President Donald Trump, announced a 90-day pause on trade tariffs for most countries, except China. This measure aimed to ease trade tensions and had notable impacts on global financial markets. For example, Angola's dollar bonds led emerging markets following the announcement of the tariff pause.
