5:13Now PlayingDonald Trump has announced a 90-day pause on all tariffs above 10% but targeted China with a staggering 125% rate as the trade war between Washington and Beijing rages on.
Ben Kentish hears from Victoria Guido, Politico's economics correspondent. What have we learnt about the President after his surprise move?
Trump took to social media to announce that all countries except China will now only face 10% tariffs - marking a huge change in White House policy.
"They were getting yippy, you know, were getting a little bit yippy, a little bit afraid," he explained to press outside the White House on Wednesday afternoon.
Trump claimed "nothing's over yet", and that they have had a "tremendous amount of spirit from other countries".
He claimed he "had to do it", as China were the "biggest abuser in history".
