So yesterday at one o'clock in the afternoon, the president of the United States made a U-turn on his tariff policy. He put out a statement on Truth Social that read, "'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.'"
At some point, hopefully in the near future, China will realize that the days of ripping off the United States and other countries is no longer sustainable or acceptable. Conversely, and based on the fact that more than 75 countries have called representatives of the United States, including the Departments of Commerce, Treasury, and the U.S.
Trade Representative, to negotiate a solution to the subjects being discussed relative to trade, trade barriers, tariffs, currency manipulation, and non-monetary tariffs,
and that these countries have not, at my strong suggestion, retaliated in any way, shape, or form against the United States, I have authorized a 90-day pause and a substantially lowered reciprocal tariff during this period of 10%, also effective immediately. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
So that is, in fact, a U-turn for the president of the United States, who was suggesting just a couple of days earlier that there would be no postponement. That was suggested by pretty much everybody in the president's cabinet, who said over and over and over again, this is the right thing to do. The president did the right thing here. He reversed.
what was going to be a meltdown moment for the global markets. And the question is why? What made him reverse everything? And the answer is pretty obvious. Basically, the entire global economic system was shouting at him that he needed to reverse this tariff system that he was about to put into place.
Jamie Dimon of JP Morgan appeared on Fox Business specifically to message to the president because the president watches Fox News. Jamie Dimon has essentially admitted as much. Here he was Wednesday morning explaining that a tariff war would bring a almost certain recession.
