President Donald Trump admitted delaying tariff hikes due to market panic, saying investors were getting “afraid.” Following a $1.5 trillion stock wipeout ahead of tariff hikes, Trump froze most tariffs at 10—except for China’s, which rose to 125. The announcement triggered a record-breaking rally, with Nasdaq gaining 12 in a day. Trump defended his strategy as a move toward “Liberation Day” from bad trade deals. He also hinted at exemptions for affected companies and emphasized that the situation remains fluid with talks ongoing with dozens of nations. br br br #Trump #TariffWar #TradePolicy #MarketsCrash #NasdaqSurge #DowJones #LiberationDay #ChinaTariff #USChina #StockMarket br #S&P500 #GlobalTrade #ReciprocalTariffs #TrumpEconomy #TariffFreeze #TruthSocial #InvestorSentiment #TradeDeals #MarketRally #WhiteHousebr br Also Readbr br Trump Delays Tariffs for Some, Slaps China Hard: Full List of Countries With Revised Tariff Rates :: br World Tariff War: Donald Trump Announces 90-Day Pause On Tariffs After Retaliation From Other Countries :: br Trump Mocks Countries Hit By US Tariffs: 'Kissing my A**, Dying To Make Deal' :: br br br ~HT.178~ED.346~GR.
