125% tariff on China, 90 days for these countries including India; Why is Trump's attitude changing?

  Amid the escalating tariff war with China, US President Donald Trump on Wednesday night gave a big relief to countries that did not impose retaliatory tariffs. The US has suspended tariffs for all such countries, including India, for 90 days. This decision will be effective immediately. However, Trump did not give any relief to China and has imposed a 125 percent tariff on it. A base tariff of 10 percent will be imposed on the remaining countries. Trump took this step after China announced to impose an 84 percent tax on American products. After Trump's announcement, the US stock exchange has jumped by about seven percent.

Trump has posted on Truth Social - Businessmen from more than 75 countries have contacted the US government for talks and they have not imposed retaliatory tariffs. Therefore, I have suspended tariffs on these countries for 90 days. The 10 percent tariff was the basic rate for most countries, which came into effect on Saturday.
