#TrumpTariffs ChainCatcher reports that, according to local time on April 7, the Washington Post cited two sources suggesting that over the past weekend, the head of the U.S. government's efficiency department, global billionaire Musk, directly urged President Trump to cancel the new tariff policy.

The report suggests that Musk's efforts were unsuccessful. On the 7th, Trump announced that he would not suspend the "reciprocal" tariff policy. After a discussion with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu at the White House, Trump told the media that he currently has no intention of suspending the tariff policy, as many economic leaders are seeking to negotiate with him. He believes that the strong enforcement of the tariff policy and conducting negotiations are not in conflict with each other.
