When will trump walk back his latest tariffs?

One of trump's minions is hinting that trump may reconsider these tariffs.



BREAKING: Trump is now considering easing tariffs again—just unpredictable enough to keep Canada, Mexico, and the rest of the planet scrambling to reduce their reliance on U.S. trade before he mood-swings us into another economic tantrum.

Honestly, it’s like watching a five-year-old playing SimCity, just randomly clicking buttons, demolishing bridges, and then wondering why the city’s on fire.

I would not be surprised to see trump back down tonight at his silly speech

Something about how his strongliest tariff tactic caused Canada and Mexico, with tears in their eyes, to beg him "Sir, please no more, my country will be ruined..." and how they caved to whatever unknown, unverifiable demand he alleges that he made.

He's a fucking moron, and so is anyone that supports his stupid ass.

12. Lutnick: US could announce trade deal Wednesday with Mexico and Canada after imposing tariffs

There is too much blowback/bad press on trump's extremely stupid tariff plan. trump has to back down yet again because tariffs are stupid.



https://www.cnn.com/2025/03/04/business/us-tariffs-trade-deal-mexico-canada

US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said that President Donald Trump could announce a trade deal with Mexico and Canada as soon as tomorrow, just one day after the US imposed punishing tariffs on the two nations and sparked retaliatory levies.

“I think he’s going to work something out with them,” Lutnick said on Fox Business. “It’s not going to be a pause, none of that pause stuff, but I think he’s going to figure out, you do more, and I’ll meet you in the middle some way, and we’re going to probably be announcing that tomorrow.”

Trump’s policies have added uncertainty for the world’s biggest economy. The whipsaw application of tariffs and signs that perhaps that policy could change, all within a 24-hour span, have complicated decisions for businesses and increased pressure on an economy already showing signs of strain......

Lutnick said he had spoken with both Canadian and Mexican representatives about trade among the three countries.

A Canadian government source confirmed to CNN that Canadian Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc spoke with the US commerce secretary on Tuesday.

The 25% tariffs come after Trump also imposed an additional 10% tariff on Chinese goods, raising that country’s rate to 20%.
