President Trump on Wednesday said he would pause his reciprocal tariffs for most
countries for the next 90 days, backing down on his policy that had sent markets
into a tailspin and threatened to upend global trade. But Mr. Trump said his break did not include China, announcing he would instead raise tariffs on its exports to 125 percent after Beijing announced a new round of retaliation.
In announcing the pause, the White House repeatedly tried to suggest it was all part of a premeditated strategy. Ms. Leavitt accused reporters of having “failed
to see what President Trump is doing here,” and Scott Bessent, secretary of the
Treasury, said it was Mr. Trump’s “strategy all along.”
But the abrupt change in course came amid a sell-off in U.S. bonds, which are generally safer investments, and after days of deep losses in financial markets around the globe. Economists had expressed serious concerns that the United States might be careening toward a recession of its own making.
