Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus has expressed his gratitude to the US President Donald Trump for declaring a complete halt on all “reciprocal tariffs” for 90 days, according to a UNB report.

“Thank you, Mr. President, (@POTUS) for responding positively to our request for 90-day pause on tariffs. We will continue to work with your administration in support of your trade agenda,” Chief Adviser's Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam said quoting Prof Yunus.

In a post on Truth Social on Wednesday, Trump stated that he had “authorized a 90-day PAUSE, and a substantially lowered Reciprocal Tariff during this period, of 10%, also effective immediately.”

“Due to the lack of respect China has shown to the World’s Markets, I am hereby raising the Tariff charged to China by the United States of America to 125%, effective immediately,” Trump wrote on his social media.
