The LATEST UPDATE is just hours after the 104% tariffs took effect and this video was filmed. President Trump announced a surprise three-month (90-day) pause on all reciprocal tariffs—except those on China, which have now increased to 125%. While global markets are surging on the news, note that the harsher penalties on Chinese imports remain in full force. We recommend sellers keep a close, watchful eye as news develops.
