#TariffsPause Trump announces 90-day tariff pause: temporary relief amid trade tensions

In a significant shift in his trade policy, President Donald Trump announced on April 9 a "tariff pause" of 90 days, which temporarily suspends reciprocal tariffs between the United States and more than 75 countries, with the notable exception of China. This measure aims to create space for renegotiating trade agreements without the immediate pressure of high tariffs, in response to international requests to reconsider Washington's protectionist stance.

"This is an opportunity to reach better agreements for Americans," Trump stated, although he warned that an extension of this pause is unlikely if no progress is made. At the same time, he hardened his policy towards China, raising tariffs to 125%, arguing that Beijing does not respect global trade rules.

The European Union responded positively, applying a similar pause on its retaliatory tariffs. Meanwhile, economic analysts point out that while this pause temporarily alleviates tensions and improves consumer sentiment, trade uncertainty persists and could generate volatility again if concrete agreements are not reached before July.

This measure marks a key point in Trump's strategy towards global trade stability.
