Trump has zeroed in on China.

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 U.S.A., 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 USTR, 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!

Everyone else still at 10% base?

That’s what is sounds like. So if you were higher than 10%, you have been lowered for at least 90 days.

One of the negotiating points is going to be not allowing these countries to be a middle man for China. This is all about breaking China.

Yes, I agree.

It’s great finally having a president with balls that isn’t afraid of dealing from a position of strength.

You only do that if China was your goal.

First off, I am thrilled with the 90-day pause. It goes against everything Trump has talked about for decades, but I am glad someone get to him and intimidated him back to something closer to sanity.
However, if volatility (like we have seen in the last week) is the actual plan, it would be hard to draw up a worse plan. This should require no explanation to any thinking person.

a mistaken assumption. Trump WAS negotiating from a position of strength, now he isn't. This 90 day pause is a bad move that makes him look weak.
Because all the countries obviously negotiated before Apr 2nd, "liberation day". trump didnt like those neigiations and through it anyways.
every country know he will fold from his tariffs within days, this is about the 3rd time, some of his prominent backers are publicly criticizing him and his party is drafting legislation to block his tariffs in the future.

How we feeling about the EU's 25% tariff? Where does it fall in all this?

He called everyone's bluff, they negotiated, and he lifted most of it.
China, you're on deck. Get in or get run over.

To who?
To the poli board? Then who cares?
To China? Then let them retaliate with higher tariffs on U.S. imports.
