In a surprising turn of events on Wednesday, President Donald Trump decided to pause the majority of "reciprocal" tariffs he had introduced just hours earlier. This shift highlights his unpredictable approach to negotiations, where he often oscillates between tough stances and more accommodating strategies. With claims of interest from over 75 nations seeking trade agreements with the U.S., Trump's trade maneuver has significant implications on the global stage.
Among those reaching out to Trump is Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet, who sent a letter on April 4 requesting a postponement of the impending tariffs. In exchange for this concession, Cambodia would work on reducing its own tariffs, reflecting the delicate balance of international trade negotiations that Trump is currently navigating.

The fact nations are reaching out shows they respect his strategy and are willing to make concessions.

He's keeping other countries on their toes, and that benefits US interests.

This flip-flopping is exactly why the trade war is so chaotic. Businesses can't plan when policies change on a whim.
