3.A day after US President Donald Trump announced a 90-day 'pause' on reciprocal tariffs against all the countries, except China, the White House announced suspension of the additional duties, including India's 26 percent until July 9 in a big relief for major economies. The additional tariff on India was part of Trump's "Liberation Day" tariffs, announced on April 2, which were aimed at cutting trade deficit and ramping up domestic manufacturing in America. This suspension of tariffs is not applicable to China, including Hong Kong and Macau. Trump's announcement leaves China facing a steep 125 percent tariff on top of existing 20 percent levies, and almost all other countries facing a baseline tariff of 10 percent.
