Enduring confusion is the only certainty amid Trump's latest tariff threats
Briefly

Donald Trump affirmed that all payments will start on August 1, 2025, with no extensions permitted. Despite this declaration, a 90-day tariff pause ended recently, and only three trade agreements have been established instead of the promised 300. Observers interpret Trump's threats to impose high tariffs as potentially empty bluster, while he recently reaffirmed his tariffs through letters detailing specific rates for various countries. The stock market appears indifferent, suggesting that they expect deadlines to be flexible and possibly missed.
Donald Trump stated, 'All money will be due and payable starting AUGUST 1, 2025 no extensions will be granted.' Despite this, changes occurred that undermined his deadline.
Trump published tariff letters threatening 50% tariffs on Brazil, 30% on Sri Lanka, and 35% on Canada, showcasing his renewed approach to trade negotiations.
