The decision to suspend new tariffs may be a short-term strategy to alleviate inflation pressure and gain voter support ahead of the midterm elections. This move helps temporarily lower the prices of imported goods and ease cost pressures on businesses and consumers, but it does not change the overall protectionist tone. Existing measures such as tariffs on China remain in place, indicating the United States' long-term stance on supply chain restructuring and technological competition. The market may experience a brief respite, but uncertainty in trade policy will continue to suppress business investment.
