US President going soft on tariffs again?

Donald Trump, even before becoming the US President, was imposing on the need for saving local industries in the United States, and in order to do so, there was a need to impose tariffs on goods that are imported to the US from countries that kill the domestic competition. When he came to power, imposing tariffs on China, Canada, and Mexico became one of his biggest agendas.

And now, once he is already making up his mind to stay strong on his decision, Lutnick is claiming that another rollback on these tariffs is due. When the US pushed ahead with 25 per cent tariffs on Mexico and Canada, along with a 20 percent hike on China-made products, President Trump admitted there would be 'a little disturbance' in trade and commerce, which has already begun reflecting, as per reports.
