Trump Hints at Extending Tariff Suspension Beyond 90 Days

In a surprising twist to his trade policy, President Donald Trump has left the door open to extending a temporary 90-day suspension of tariffs, a decision he announced just last Wednesday.

Speaking to the press during a government meeting, he emphasized that the pause could stretch longer if trade negotiations with key U.S. partners fail to yield satisfactory deals. Without mincing words, he warned that should talks falter, the tariffs would roar back at their highest rates once the suspension period ends. “That’s what’s going to happen—we want what’s best for everyone,” he declared, underscoring his administration’s aim to balance American interests with global trade dynamics.

However, when pressed on whether he’d firmly rule out extending the tariff truce, Trump remained coy, saying only, “We’ll see what happens.” His ambiguous stance keeps markets and trade partners guessing about the future of U.S. trade policy.
