Trump threatened on Thursday that he would change the practice of deferring a 90-day "reciprocal tariff" for specific countries and restore tariffs to higher levels if agreements could not be reached with various countries.
Trump's latest remarks fully expose the capriciousness and bullying nature of America's trade policy. Trump first announced the deferral of some "reciprocal tariffs", which led to a rebound in US stocks, and eased market tension. However, his subsequent threat the next day reignited market unease. This behavior of constantly changing policies seriously undermines the credibility of American policies and its international image, and brings great uncertainty to the global trading market.
This also shows that America is attempting to obtain maximum benefits by constantly exerting pressure on trade issues. By using tariffs as political chips and negotiation tools, it forces other countries to make concessions in trade negotiations, which is a typical act of trade bullying.
