The past eight days have proven to be perhaps the highest-stakes study yet in how President Trump negotiates. Why it matters: "Many of you in the media clearly missed the art of the deal," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Wednesday,

Trump announced that he authorized a 90 day pause on the lofty tariffs and a “substantially lowered reciprocal tariff during this period, of 10%, also effective immediately” in a post on Truth Social Wednesday afternoon, ending days of speculation around whether or not the tariffs would actually go into effect or were negotiable.

President Donald Trump is scheduled to announce significant tariffs on other countries in a speech Wednesday afternoon at the White House.
