The pause on the biggest of Trump's tariffs won't pass this week, as planned, but the problems they present still loom large.

U.S. President Donald Trump's latest tariff delay provided some hope to major trade partners Japan, South Korea and the European Union that deals to ease duties could still be reached, while bewildering some smaller exporters such as South Africa and leaving companies with no clarity on the path forward.

President Donald Trump has threatened steep tariffs on America’s trading partners, sending letters to more than a dozen world leaders, warning they have less than a month to strike a deal.
