President Donald Trump announced a 90-day pause on higher targeted tariffs for most countries, excluding China, which now faces a 125% duty. The pause was due to over 75 trading partners not retaliating and seeking discussions. Canada and Mexico will maintain a 10% tariff, while the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) will have no tariffs.

He emphasized the need for clear objectives and consistent messaging.
