On April 10, 2025, U.S. President Trump underwent a phased adjustment of tariff policy. Trump announced via social media that in response to negotiation requests from multiple countries (over 75) through diplomatic channels, and based on these countries' commitments not to take retaliatory measures, he approved a 90-day tariff suspension measure, reducing some reciprocal tariff rates from the originally planned higher levels to 10%, effective immediately. This decision is viewed as a strategic move to respond to international pressure and create space for subsequent trade negotiations.

However, Trump's attitude had previously fluctuated. On April 8, he publicly stated that he would "not suspend the tariff policy" and rejected the EU's proposal for mutual tariff exemptions, emphasizing that negotiations and the implementation of tariff policies could proceed simultaneously. But on April 7, National Economic Council Director Hassett revealed that Trump was considering a 90-day suspension of tariffs for certain countries, indicating internal discussions regarding the policy.

Analysis from Yale University pointed out that this suspension has limited effects on reducing the overall average tariff rate in the U.S., with the comprehensive tax rate faced by consumers still at a high level not seen since 1934 (approximately 18.1%), reflecting that the long-term effects of tariff policy are difficult to mitigate in the short term. Former Commerce Secretary Gutierrez predicted that the relevant tariffs might be canceled in the second half of 2025, but current officials hold an opposing view, indicating that there remains uncertainty regarding the future of the policy.
