So basically once again trump didn't stick to his decision and reverted back whatever tariffs or bans he had put.

The wild part is how he goes on and on about how we (the US) are being screwed on trade deals, and you can go back and watch an announcement of him making that deal during his 1st term. He has spent more time reversing or just fake adjusting his own trade terms this whole time while blaming Biden who left most of it untouched so as not to tank the economy he was trying to bring back to life.

There's a Wikipedia article on TACO:

Trump Always Chickens Out (TACO), also known as the TACO Trade, is an acronym that gained prominence in May 2025 after many threats and reversals during the trade war Donald Trump initiated with his administration's "Liberation Day" tariffs.[1] The acronym is used to describe Trump's tendency to make tariff threats, only to later delay them as a way to increase time for negotiations and for markets to rebound.[1][2]
