#特朗普延迟加征欧盟关税

Trump pauses tariffs, the EU laughed and then cried.

Trump has suspended the 50% punitive tariffs on the EU. This news seems like a "breather," but upon closer inspection, it is simply a "horror movie in a comedy."
I originally thought that after June 1st, German cars, Italian shoes, and French cheese would all increase in price. However, the president suddenly waved his hand and said, "Pause, let's talk again." The EU was so happy they wanted to dance the tango, but as soon as reason kicked in, they understood: this pause is not termination, but a delay of a time bomb.
Trump's move can be considered a model of psychological warfare. He does not impose taxes, yet makes you live under the shadow of "being taxed soon." Companies dare not expand, orders dare not be taken on a large scale, and even the euro trembled nervously.
The real brilliance of this "pause trick" lies in the fact that it leaves the market with a "torture of uncertainty." Trump is not using addition or subtraction, but rather a delaying tactic—waiting for you to throw yourself into disorder.
What's even crazier is that a bunch of representatives in the European Parliament were originally ready to "fight to the end," but now there's a rift within. Some say negotiations should continue, while others argue for a proactive approach. Maybe Trump is just waiting for the EU to implode from within before he swoops in with a "I'm willing to talk, but you guys are too chaotic."
In summary: Trump did not press the tariff button, but he pressed the EU's "panic button." This move is called "defeating the enemy without fighting."
