The 50% will be an addition to the 34% reciprocal tariffs announced last week, as well as the 20% tariff Trump has imposed to halt the flow of fentanyl.

Scoop: Top money managers say it was Japan not China selling last night that upended the bond market and forced Trump’s hand into a pause. And yes Trump took the win as so many countries wanted to do deals. Never one thing that causes anything; story developing
