This development comes amid ongoing tensions with countries like China, Indonesia, and other BRICS members, many of which have become targets of Trump’s proposed tariffs. Analysts say the pause reflects a recognition that continuous tariff escalation could backfire, disrupting supply chains and straining diplomatic ties.
While Trump’s style has often yielded short-term concessions, the current situation underscores the diminishing effectiveness of brinkmanship in a more interconnected global economy.
