The European Union will suspend its planned tariffs on $23 billion worth of US goods for 90 days, matching US President Donald Trump’s pause on new trade measures and allowing time for negotiations.

      Agreed. This is a mistake. Canada made the right choice in going ahead with all counter-tariffs even when Trump was offering pauses.

      The best way out of this is through. The US cannot be allowed to dictate the pace and timing. If they want a trade war, they need to get a trade war, good and hard. No timeouts, no breathers. A global united front needs to pummel them until they promise not to do this shit again.
