The pattern behind it

4 of 5
Four of five Trump-era tariff deadlines ended in deferral or a deal rather than escalation. The 2018 steel tariffs are the exception, and they show the threat is not always a bluff.

We found five tariff deadlines Donald Trump set since 2018. Each time he named a date, spoke to the other leader, and then the higher tariff was either put off or replaced by a deal. Only once did the threatened tariff actually arrive on the date.
