The White House has forcefully denied reports claiming that President Trump is considering a temporary pause on tariffs, calling the speculation “completely false.”
Amid growing chatter across media platforms about a potential 90-day suspension on all tariffs — excluding those on China — the administration moved quickly to set the record straight.
Karoline Leavitt, White House Deputy Press Secretary, dismissed the rumors outright:
“It is fake news that the White House is considering a ninety-day pause.”
Leavitt reiterated that President Trump is standing firm on his aggressive trade agenda, which has included sweeping tariffs aimed at revitalizing American manufacturing, reducing dependence on foreign supply chains, and leveraging better trade deals.
“The White House is pouring cold water on this idea — wherever it came from — that they are considering a pause,” a senior correspondent reported. “The President remains fully committed to his tariff regime.”
The clarification comes at a critical moment, as Trump’s tariff policies have already triggered major policy shifts around the world — including the European Union offering zero-for-zero tariff talks and domestic companies like General Motors expanding production at home.
This firm stance signals that, despite outside pressure and speculation, the Trump administration has no intention of backing down from its America First economic doctrine.
