DENVER ~ In a surprising turn of events, President Trump has partially walked back on his recent tariff announcements after facing strong opposition from both sides of the political spectrum. The president's decision to impose tariffs on goods from various countries had caused chaos for Colorado businesses and resulted in a market crash, causing harm to the retirement savings of many Coloradans.

Governor Jared Polis of Colorado expressed his concerns about the impact of these tariffs on the economy, stating that they have wreaked havoc on American businesses and hardworking individuals. He also emphasized the need for certainty in order for people to plan their lives and for businesses to make smart investments.

The president's decision to delay most of the tariffs by 90 days and temporarily pause the trade war has been met with mixed reactions. While some see it as a step towards avoiding further chaos and disaster, others believe that all tariffs should be eliminated, including the blanket 10% tariff.

The uncertainty caused by these tariffs has raised concerns about businesses considering leaving the United States, which could result in job losses and price increases. Governor Polis urged Congress to take action in protecting the economy and ensuring that the president cannot single-handedly cause harm to it.

As this temporary pause gives some relief to Colorado businesses and individuals, many are still calling for a permanent solution to avoid any future economic downturns. Only time will tell how this decision will ultimately impact the economy and its citizens.
