Markets soar as Trump pauses some tariffs

from dc · host Salai Dawtcemsang

In a dramatic change of policy, Donald Trump has paused higher tariffs on goods entering the United States from every country except China. In a post on social media, the President said levies would be lowered to ten percent, but taxes on Chinese imports would rise to 125%. We get reaction to the turmoil from Republican congressman Pete Sessions and French Member of Parliament Éléonore Caroit.Also in the programme: We've live in the Dominican Republic after that nightclub roof collapse; and the new London exhibition of Cartier - jeweller to the rich and famous.(Photo: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt speak with the media about tariffs at the White House in Washington DC, April 9, 2025.
