Markets Surge After Trump ‘Checkmates’ China With Stunning Tariff Announcement

Trending Politics News
By Chris Powell
April 9, 2025

In a surprise move Wednesday, President Donald Trump announced a 90-day pause on tariffs for more than 75 countries, while simultaneously escalating trade pressure on China by hiking tariffs to a staggering 125%. The dual-pronged policy shakeup sparked immediate reaction across global markets, with U.S. stocks surging in trading.

“Based on the lack of respect that China has shown to the World’s Markets, I am hereby raising the Tariff charged to China by the United States of America to 125%, effective immediately,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. “At some point, hopefully in the near future, China will realize that the days of ripping off the U.S.A., and other Countries, is no longer sustainable or acceptable.”

At the same time, Trump said he had directed a pause on tariffs for dozens of countries who, according to him, had reached out to U.S. agencies including the Departments of Commerce, Treasury, and the USTR to avoid further escalation.

“These Countries have not, at my strong suggestion, retaliated in any way, shape, or form against the United States,” Trump wrote. “I have authorized a 90-day PAUSE, and a substantially lowered Reciprocal Tariff during this period, of 10%, also effective immediately.”

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists

Bravo!   Trump has courage to stand up to bullies.
Leftists could learn from him but noooooooo.  They'd rather whine, spray  swastika symbols on Teslas, go to local protests and hold up lots of whiney signs, change sex and otherwise act crazy.

Down the centuries, you have slurred the meaning of the words, "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty, to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution". These words and the words that follow, were not written only for the Yangs, but for the Kohms as well! They must apply to everyone, or they mean nothing! - James Tiberius Kirk
