Trade war latest: Trump announces 90-day pause for some countries

A database created by Palantir and used by ICE allows the agency to search for and filter people by hundreds of different categories, according to 404 Media.

Experts told the outlet that the database could help ICE identify, detain, and deport people suspected of minor infractions.

His vision would see squads of ICE agents in trucks rounding people up and shipping them to other countries in the same way that Amazon ships packages.

Stock markets have soared to near-record gains after Donald Trump announced a pause on most of his sweeping global tariffs.

The president announced this decision in a Truth Social post on Wednesday afternoon, saying that a pause of 90 days would be implemented immediately.

President Donald Trump changed course again on Wednesday and announced a 90-day pause of his so-called “reciprocal” tariffs while hiking other duties on China to 125 percent.

The president’s decision followed several days of sharp losses on the stock market. In a Truth Social post, Trump claimed that his reversal was a result of what White House officials have claimed are dozens of foreign nations reaching out with the intention of re-negotiating trade policy with the United States, rather than implementing tariffs of their own.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has confirmed that the baseline tariff of 10 percent will remain in effect during the 90-day pause, while country-specific tariffs on everyone apart from China will be removed.
