Listen "Trump pauses tariffs for some countries as he ramps up China trade war"
Episode Synopsis
A week after announcing his Liberation Day tariffs and causing global market chaos, US President Donald Trump has done a 180. He has announced on social media that he has paused tariffs against 75 countries for 90 days – but has doubled down on a trade war with China, announcing a 125% tariffs on goods from the country. US stocks rocketed higher after the declaration – the S&P 500 posted its best day since 2008, and the Nasdaq its best since 2001. So what's behind the sudden backtrack, and what could all of this mean for New Zealand?
