#TariffsPause The term "TariffsPause" gained prominence in April 2025, when the President of the United States, Donald Trump, announced a 90-day pause in the application of tariffs on various countries, with the exception of China.

The European Union, for example, temporarily suspended its countermeasures against US tariffs, awaiting the outcome of negotiations. Mexico also secured a one-month pause on the 25% tariffs imposed by Trump, in exchange for sending 10,000 Mexican soldiers to reinforce security at the border and combat drug trafficking and illegal immigration.

However, China was not benefited by the pause and had its tariffs raised to 125%. Trump's decision aimed to create space for negotiations with trade partners, avoiding a negative economic impact in the US.
