#TariffsPause The term #TariffsPause refers to a significant development in U.S. trade policy under President Donald Trump's administration. On April 9, 2025, following market turmoil and warnings of a potential recession, President Trump announced a 90-day suspension of additional tariffs beyond a baseline 10% on imports from most countries. However, this pause did not apply to China; instead, tariffs on Chinese imports were increased to 145%
