#TariffsPause "Tariff Pause" usually refers to a temporary suspension of the imposition of new or increased existing tariffs (customs duties) on imported goods. This can be a strategic move in international trade for several reasons:

* Negotiations: It often signals a willingness to engage in trade talks and de-escalate tensions between countries. Suspending tariffs can create a more favorable environment for dialogue and finding potential long-term solutions to trade disputes.

* Assessment of Economic Impact: A pause allows governments and businesses to assess the actual or potential economic impact of already imposed tariffs or those under consideration. This can help in understanding the effects on domestic industries, consumers, and overall economic growth.

* Market Stability: Uncertainty related to tariffs can disrupt markets and supply chains. A pause can provide a period of stability, allowing businesses to adapt and plan for the future with less immediate threat of rising costs.

* Political Considerations: Domestic and international political pressures can lead to a temporary halt in the introduction of tariffs. Governments may respond to the concerns of businesses, consumers, or international allies.
