Trump Hoping for 'Good Deals' Before 90-Day Pause Ends

For weeks, President Donald Trump has plowed ahead with plans to impose steep new tariffs on imports despite warnings that the policy could trigger economic chaos. On April 9, after a multiday plunge in global stock markets, he changed course.

In a social media post, Trump said that a set of tariffs on imports from many of America’s largest trading partners had been paused. The announcement came only 13 hours after the duties had gone into effect. Trump indicated that turmoil in the financial markets following the implementation of the tariffs played a role in his decision.

Trump announced a 90-day pause on what the administration has termed “reciprocal” tariffs on imports from almost 60 countries and the European Union. The tariff levels were customized to each trading partner and corresponded to the size of their trade surplus with the US.

Why dont start with the "peace in Ukraine on day one", it's only wind from his mouth with no substance.

He can hope!
That doesn't mean he's getting any deal.

Natural progression. When you find out you have zero leverage, hope is the only option. Good luck.

This is the craziness of a delusional bully that never had to actually fight, he’s a spoiled brat that can’t hear the word “no”

Last week : I've got people calling me up and begging me, "oh please sir, oh please make a deal with me. They are kissing my ass to make a deal."

This week : I'm hoping to make some good deals before the 90 days are up.

To be honest, we survived without America for thousands of years and we will keep doing that for the rest of our existence, in the future countries including friends and allies will think ten times before dealing with the US government.

[mortenmadsen]

Are you sure 90 days is enough. Do you an administration to negotiate? Remember elevator tariffs are poison for every company.

🚀🚀Absolutely! Market fluctuations, whether up or down, are part of a larger trend that requires patience and perspective to understand. Price drops can signal future growth or buying opportunities, but it takes experience to see that. My coach and mentor, Alex Smith, has taught me that understanding the bigger picture is key. As more people gain knowledge, they’ll navigate market fluctuations with more confidence and less stress. It’s great to see people diving into learning about market dynamics!💯.
