Earlier reports circulating on X (formerly Twitter) suggested that U.S. President Donald Trump was considering a 90-day pause on tariffs for all countries except China. However, fresh updates now indicate that these reports may not be accurate, and there is no confirmation of such a pause being planned or under consideration by the Trump administration.
The initial speculation, based on social media chatter and market commentary, had briefly sparked hope of a temporary reprieve in the escalating global trade tensions. But with no official word from the White House and growing doubt about the legitimacy of the claims, the optimism quickly faded.
As a result, global markets have reversed any brief relief, with equity indices and crypto prices sliding further. Investors appear increasingly spooked by the lack of clarity, coupled with already heightened fears following China’s announcement of a 34% tariff on all U.S. imports starting April 10 and Trump’s proposed 25% tariffs on key sectors like automobiles and semiconductors.
What began as a rumor-fueled moment of hope has now added to the broader sense of market confusion and volatility. Traders continue to monitor for any official communication from the White House, but until then, uncertainty is likely to dominate sentiment.
