Trump insists bond market tumult didn't influence tariff pause: 'I wasn't worried'

President Donald Trump denied that an aggressive bond market sell-off influenced his decision earlier this month to hold off on aggressive "reciprocal" tariffs against U.S. trading partners.

"No, it wasn't for that reason," Trump told Time magazine. "I'm doing that until we come up with the numbers that I want to come up with."
