20:18⇢Trump Suspends Tariffs Except For China As Markets Soar
⌨The newspapers report on Trump's sudden reversal on tariffs, announcing a 90-day pause for countries "that have not reacted" while maintaining the base 10% rate (Adnkronos, ANSA, Avvenire, Corriere, Il Giornale, La Repubblica, Sky TG24). China remains the exception, facing dramatically increased tariffs of 125% (ANSA, Avvenire, Corriere, Il Giornale, La Stampa, Sky TG24). Trump justified the reversal saying "people were a bit scared" (Adnkronos, Il Giornale, La Repubblica), while markets responded enthusiastically with Wall Street soaring - Nasdaq up 12.16% and Dow Jones up 7.64% (Corriere, HuffPost, La Repubblica, La Stampa). Separately, the Italian government approved the "IROPI report" for the Strait of Messina bridge project (Il Sole 24 Ore).
