The president’s about-face comes roughly 13 hours after higher reciprocal duties on 56 nations and the European Union took effect, fueling market turmoil and stoking recession fears. Trump came under massive pressure from business leaders and investors to reverse course. “I have authorized a 90 day PAUSE, and a substantially lowered Reciprocal Tariff during this period, of 10%, also effective immediately,” Trump posted Wednesday on social media.
