Trump just announced all country tariffs will be paused for 90 days except for China whos stuck at 125% now. There will be a minimum 10% tariff applied during this 90 days pause.
And I'm thinking this is just what he planned out in advance. Not only did he get everyone to take his threat seriously, he actually collected tariffs. Now that everyone knows he's crazy enough to do this he graciously gave a pause and lowered all the tariffs except china to 10%, something a lot of these countries are now so happy for. And something they'll want to keep after 90 days
Interesting to see what China does next. Maybe release new covid
I thought this was all because Trump missed Christmas, and so wanted to have a whole pile of giant green and red candles, all in a row every day for a month.
