"Fearing a disaster".. Sources reveal to CNN the reason for Trump's temporary suspension of tariffs

(CNN) -- President Donald Trump's surprising decision to reverse his comprehensive tariff plan, announcing a suspension for 3 months, revealed how much political pain he can endure: one week.

On Wednesday, Trump commented on the increasing criticisms that had been directed at the White House over the past week: "They were screaming, they were screaming a little, and they felt a little scared."

And even for a president known for his political volatility, his announcement on Wednesday to suspend the long-awaited reciprocal tariffs for 3 months is a stunning retreat from a plan he seemed to fully support just a day earlier, coinciding with his trade representative testifying on Capitol Hill about the benefits of tariffs, seemingly unaware of the suspension decision.

It seems that days of pressure from his fellow Republicans, business leaders, and even close friends did not move Trump, who insisted last week that "my policies will never change."
