That's not how I read this, this seems to be suspending the initial 25% electricity surcharge.

    Looking at a few sources, I'm not entirely sure tbh.

    Even so; I don't mind showing a bit of restraint given an opportunity to negotiate an agreement. Helps demonstrate that it's not the citizens of those states we're upset with; they're just caught in the crossfire between us and Washington.

    We can always put the tariffs back, and in the meantime we can continue to expand into other markets and strengthen relationships with other nations.

    Just watched https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rW0pjiFCHZU Yes it's the original 25% he's putting a hold on while they talk about things.

    It sounds like the US said "We're struggling to control Trump, please don't escalate while we try to talk through it"

    There's no restraint, no respect for others, no compromise, no ability to complete a single thought while speaking, no willingness to reconsider his own choices, no humanity, no compassion, no thought given to how poor people will fair, no idea how to be a man, no inkling how to act appropriately, no understanding how to deal with negative feedback, no humility, no selflessness, no desire to learn facts, no belief in truth, no leadership skills, no idea how not to commit crimes, no understanding of what an oath is, no acceptance of justice for his crimes, and last but not least, no understanding of the Constitution.
