#TrumpTariffs The US president continues his aggressive tariff policy and assured that he will not pause it, following local media reports suggesting the White House was planning a 90-day suspension. Donald Trump also reacted to China's tariff response, threatening to impose an additional 50% on existing tariffs if Beijing does not back down.

According to Trump, current trade policy allows countries with unfair practices to prosper at the expense of the US. During the announcement, the president stated: "This is an emergency. Access to the US market is a privilege, not a right." The main objective, he explained, is to reindustrialize the country, encourage local manufacturing, reduce the trade deficit—which exceeded $1.2 trillion in 2024—and strengthen national security by restoring essential supply chains.
