No, President Donald Trump has not postponed his tariffs policy. On the contrary, he has recently intensified tariff measures. As of April 9, 2025, the Trump administration implemented additional tariffs, with China facing a collective 104% tariff after failing to lift its retaliatory measures by the set deadline. Trump’s administration has shown no signs of backing down on its sweeping tariffs, which have escalated existing trade tensions with China and other countries[1][2][3].
On “Liberation Day” (April 2), Trump signed an executive order imposing a minimum 10% tariff on all U.S. imports, with elevated tariffs ranging up to 50% for certain nations. These tariffs took effect on April 5, with further increases for 57 nations, including China, occurring on April 9. Despite economic concerns and global market declines, Trump continues to view these tariffs as essential for addressing trade imbalances and promoting domestic economic interests[2][3].
