🇺🇸 Trump’s Surprise Tariff Pause

✅TRACKING TRUMP✅

Curated by Mike Luso

Hey Team! 😎

They thought they'd watch Trump crash and burn with his tariff threats.

Think again. Yesterday, he pulled most tariffs back to 10% for 90 days - China's still eating 125% - and now the world's tripping over itself to negotiate.

This isn't a flinch; it's Trump rewriting the trade playbook on his terms.

America's calling the shots again, and the swamp's squirming.

More on this story below!

🔔 Trump's tariff pivot
🛡️ Supreme Court staffing win
🚢 Shipbuilding surge

🛡️ SUPREME COURT STAFFING WIN: The Supreme Court handed President Donald J. Trump a victory, ruling he can fire over 16,000 probationary federal workers. The 5-4 decision upheld his authority to cut government bloat, with Justice Amy Coney Barrett writing, "The President enjoys broad discretion over probationary employees." Union leaders blasted it as a "gut punch" to workers, but Trump allies say it's a win for efficiency. The ruling ties into DOGE's mission to slash spending. Expect more pink slips as Trump reshapes the bureaucracy.

🚢 SHIPBUILDING SURGE: Trump signed an executive order to revive U.S. shipbuilding and challenge China's grip on global maritime trade. "We're bringing back our shipyards," he said at the White House, per a pool report, aiming to boost jobs and naval power. X posts hailed it as a trade lifeline; critics say it's late against China's lead.

📈 MARKET REBOUND: The Dow spiked nearly 3,000 points after Trump's tariff pause eased trade war fears. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told Fox Business, "The market loves clarity, and this gives it," tying the rally to Trump's move. Investors exhaled, but China's counter-tariffs loom large.

🥕 RFK'S LUNCH PUSH: Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. pitched his school lunch reform, targeting processed foods. He told NBC News, "We're going to get the junk out of our schools," promising healthier kids. Trump backed it at the White House, saying, "Bobby's doing great things for our kids," per a pool report.

Donald Trump wrote his post together with Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.

👨‍🏭 Trump's Tariff Pivot: Resetting the Global Game 👨‍🏭

President Donald J. Trump threw a curveball, pausing his reciprocal tariffs for 90 days and capping most at 10%, while raising China's to 125%. After a week of market mayhem and global outcry, Trump's reset has 75+ countries begging to talk trade. This isn't a retreat - it's a power play to lock in America's edge. He's got the globe guessing, and winning.

Markets were bleeding last week after Trump's tariff threats, with China hitting back at 84%. Then he flipped it: "90-day PAUSE, 10% tariff, effective immediately - China's at 125% for disrespecting world markets," he posted on Truth Social.

Treasury's Scott Bessent told Fox Business, "This is a courageous move," saying China's overreach cost them allies. Japan's Nikkei jumped 9%, and Canada's trade chief sighed relief by April 10th.

The buzz is deafening. X erupted with MAGA fans like @WhiteHouse posting, "an economic revolution," mirroring Trump's golf club boast: "This is an economic revolution, and we will win," per CNN.

China's Foreign Ministry shot back, with Lin Jian saying, "No one wins a trade war," via Reuters. CNN's Jake Tapper hedged, "Some see this as a climbdown," but Trump laughed it off at the White House: "People were getting yippy," per a pool report.

This is high-stakes poker. With DOGE slashing budgets and ICE nabbing criminals, Trump's 90-day clock could redefine trade. China's fuming, Canada and Mexico dodged a bullet at 25% under USMCA, and Bessent's "bespoke" deals are coming, he told Fox. Trump's betting American workers cash in.

He's not here to play nice - he's here to win.

🍟 Quick Bite News 🍟

🌐 The European Union paused its retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods for 90 days, matching Trump's tariff timeout, after approving a 25% levy on $23 billion of American products like almonds and yachts. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said, "We want to give negotiations a chance," per a statement on X, aiming to de-escalate after Trump's 10% baseline tariff hit the 27-nation bloc. The move, greenlit by 26 member states hours before Trump's pause, targets Republican states but stays on hold unless talks with the U.S. falter.

📱 The Department of Homeland Security rolled out a policy to monitor immigrants' social media, aiming to flag security risks, per a DHS statement. Acting Secretary Benjamine Huffman said, "This enhances our ability to protect the homeland," though privacy advocates told Reuters it's "a chilling overreach." The move ties into Trump's immigration crackdown, sparking debate over rights versus enforcement as deportations ramp up.

🏫 Trump issued an order halting millions in federal grants to Cornell and Northwestern Universities, accusing them of "anti-American bias" over pro-Palestinian protests, per a White House release. "We're defunding the woke radicals," he told reporters at the White House, per a pool report, targeting schools he claims defy his agenda. Faculty and students blasted it on X as "political revenge," with Cornell's funds for STEM research now in limbo.

🚨 ICE snagged 271 illegal immigrants with serious criminal records in a nationwide sweep, a sting Trump's team touted as a border win. "This is just the start," Trump posted on Truth Social, with 91 nabbed in sanctuary cities like L.A., per an ICE release. The operation, netting murderers and traffickers, fuels his pledge to deport millions, though critics call it fearmongering.

🌍 Trump signed an executive order to gut state-level climate laws, aiming to boost fossil fuels and block green mandates, per a White House fact sheet. "We're unleashing energy dominance," he said at the signing, per a pool report, targeting rules like California's emissions caps.
