The pause in tariffs #TariffsPause announced by Trump implies a temporary suspension for 90 days of high reciprocal tariffs for almost 60 countries, reducing the overall rate to 10% for those countries, but excluding China, whose tariff was increased to 125% and then to 145% in some reports).

This measure was received with relief in financial markets, but in reality, it has a limited impact because:

The minimum tariff of 10% remains in effect for all countries, affecting even partners with free trade agreements like Australia and South Korea.

Many high tariffs, such as the 25% on cars, steel, and aluminum, remain unchanged.

The escalation of tariffs against China continues, intensifying the trade war.
