Trump Delayed Tariffs by 90 Days
In a message on Truth Social, Trump announced some changes in his tariff policies. He began his message by saying that he is raising the tariff charged to China by the US to 125%, “based on the lack of respect” that China has been showing the world markets.
He continued by saying that hopefully, sometime in the near future, China will realize that the days of ripping off the US and other countries are no longer sustainable or acceptable.

Trump also stated that more than 75 countries have called Representatives in the US, including the Departments of Commerce, Treasury, and the USTR, to negotiate a solution regarding trade, tariffs, currency manipulation,n and non-monetary tariffs.

He said that based on the fact that these countries have not retaliated in any way or form against the US, he authorized a 90-day delay on tariffs, lowering reciprocal tariffs during this period to 10%, effective immediately.

Yesterday, following Trump’s announcement, both traditional and crypto markets reacted. Today, the crypto market is up by almost 7%.

Also, the markets expect to see whether the US Fed will decide to cut interest rates, following another recent message from the US President who advised the Fed’s Chair, Jerome Powell, to lower rates.
