This is the kind of move Trump maybe should have made from the start, but what he did today is nothing short of crazy. We can now announce a 90-day pause on ALL tariffs as negotiations proceed, except for China. But get this, he doubled down on China, likely due to their recent disrespect towards Americans.
Speaking of tariffs, you might have heard talks about tariffs on coffee. We even discussed it in a previous video. But here’s the fantastic news from our end at Brand Coffee: we never intended to raise prices due to the tariffs. And now that the tariffs are on pause, it’s even less of an issue! In fact, we dropped our prices by about 15% across the board so we can better compete with the big players. So, now is a great time to head over to our Amazon store (link in the description!), pick up some coffee, and most importantly, leave a review and take a picture! We are working hard to compete, and your support means the world. And don’t forget, Mother’s Day is around the corner – our gift boxes are perfect!

Now, back to the breaking news. President Trump just announced this: he is implementing a 90-day pause on new tariffs for nearly every country except China, citing the lack of respect China has shown. In response, he is raising the tariff charged to China by the United States to a staggering 125%, effective immediately!. The message is clear: the days of China ripping off the USA and other countries are over. They steal our IP, sell it back at inflated prices, and don’t play by the rules, even within organizations like the WTO.
We’re hoping this move will inspire other countries to stand up and say, “We’re done with this too,” and implement their own tariffs on China, creating massive global pressure for a better deal for everyone.
Conversely, because over 75 countries have contacted the US to negotiate solutions on trade barriers, tariffs, currency manipulation, and non-monetary tariffs – and crucially, these countries have not retaliated against the US – President Trump has authorized this 90-day pause and a substantially lower reciprocal tariff of just 10% for these nations, also effective immediately. This, folks, is the art of the deal!.
For those of you with investments, you’re seeing the impact right now. Even though many of us, myself included, might not have enough in our retirement funds to retire just yet, watching those savings dwindle was nerve-wracking. But this news is fantastic! It’s entirely fair that countries showing good faith in negotiations get a reprieve from big tariffs.
While some in the mainstream media might try to spin this as just affecting the stock market, which is understandable given that’s how many gauge economic news (“green line good, red line bad”!), the implications are much broader. This 90-day negotiation window allows our market to stabilize. And boy, has it! We saw a little sell-off, but the pump is back on. As of right now, the Dow Jones Industrial is up 5.76%, and the NASDAQ is up almost 8%. And this is with the Chinese tariffs still in place!. While a six-month view might still show a decline, today’s surge is significant.
The left is clearly in meltdown mode. President Trump has cited new talks with foreign nations and explained his strategy. While some might say Trump backed down, he absolutely did not! He showed the world the stick and is now offering the carrot to those willing to negotiate fairly, while increasing the pressure on the real target: China. Can you imagine Trump being overly concerned about other nations compared to China’s trade practices?. We’d still like to see better deals with everyone, like the EU.
Look at the S&P 500 – it’s already recovering significantly. And on top of this, there’s talk of possible rate cuts, which would be like pouring gasoline on this economic fire. While the Fed might not be Trump’s biggest fan, the focus here is clear: 125% on China! If we can secure our market while maintaining this pressure on China, this is an absolute win.
Listen to Fox News – President Trump’s “America First” trade plan is in full effect. As the President stated, the tariff on China is going up to 125% because they imprudently retaliated. And as he said, when you punch at the USA, President Trump punches back harder. The overwhelming response from over 75 countries wanting to negotiate better deals for the American worker is incredible. The 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs is part of the plan.
Zero Hedge hits the nail on the head: Trump just launched a geoeconomic warhead disguised as a tariff policy!. This 125% on China isn’t just punitive; it’s a full spectrum decoupling mechanism. The 90-day global pause isn’t just a break; it’s a strategic realignment window, forcing the world to choose: shift supply chains now or be economically tied to China. This is splitting global trade into two blocs: dollar-aligned nations gaining access and time, and China-aligned nations facing isolation and uncertainty. This move will force capital away from China and towards US-aligned production, accelerating onshoring and re-industrialization. It signals an end to multilateral trade norms, with bilateral leverage becoming the new doctrine – Trump Doctrine 2.0!. This is tariffs as monetary policy, timing as a weapon, and trade as a structural realignment – the starting gun for a new global economic order. This is Brentton Woods III happening in real time. Countries either adapt now or get left behind.
This is absolute genius! Amazon is pumping, the Dow has exceeded its earlier high, and the NASDAQ has broken through previous levels and continues to surge. Trump is a genius, and anyone who doubted him is an idiot!.
We hope you enjoyed this breakdown. We’ll be back with more updates soon! Don’t forget to support the channel and our coffee!
