White House officials clarified on Thursday that the 125 percent tariff the president announced on Wednesday was in addition to a 20 percent added to the country since President Trump returned to office.

Trump announced that he authorized a 90 day pause on the lofty tariffs and a “substantially lowered reciprocal tariff during this period, of 10%, also effective immediately” in a post on Truth Social Wednesday afternoon, ending days of speculation around whether or not the tariffs would actually go into effect or were negotiable.
