#TariffsPause A "tariffs pause" refers to a temporary suspension of imposed taxes on imported or exported goods between countries. Recently, a 90-day pause was announced on additional tariffs by the US on most trading partners, excluding China, which saw increased tariffs to 125%.

Such pauses are often implemented during trade negotiations to ease tensions or provide economic relief. While a pause can temporarily calm markets and offer a window for dialogue, existing tariffs often remain, and uncertainty about the future persists. The impact on global trade can be limited if major players like the US and China don't de-escalate, as seen with continued trade tensions despite pauses. Businesses still face disrupted supply chains and potential cost increases.
