<p>The White House said on Monday that reports claiming President Donald Trump was moving toward a 90-day pause on tariffs are &#8220;wrong.&#8221;</p>
<p>After National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett discussed Trump&#8217;s tariffs during an interview on Fox News, reports falsely stated that Hassett revealed the president was considering a pause on all tariffs except those imposed on China. The claim was spread by numerous X accounts with large followings and was also discussed on <a href="https://x.com/atrupar/status/1909250858044313876" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CNBC</a>, sparking a short-lived spike in the stock market on Monday morning.</p>
<p>A White House official told Daily Wire White House Correspondent Mary Margaret Olohan that reports of a tariff pause are fake news.</p>

<p>&#8220;Wrong. Not only did Director Hassett not say this (clip below), @POTUS has been clear — &#8216;it all has to change, but especially with CHINA!!!'&#8221; the White House&#8217;s Rapid Response X account stated.</p>

<p>Reports of a tariff pause began swirling after billionaire hedge fund manager and Trump backer Bill Ackman urged the president &#8220;to call a 90-day time out, negotiate and resolve unfair asymmetric tariff deals, and induce trillions of dollars of new investment in our country.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;If, on the other hand, on April 9th we launch economic nuclear war on every country in the world, business investment will grind to a halt, consumers will close their wallets and pocket books, and we will severely damage our reputation with the rest of the world that will take years and potentially decades to rehabilitate,&#8221; Ackman <a href="https://x.com/BillAckman/status/1908992002366292286" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a> on X.</p>
<p>When asked about Ackman&#8217;s comments and a possible pause on tariffs during his interview on &#8220;<a href="https://www.foxnews.com/video/6371175485112" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fox &amp; Friends</a>,&#8221; Hassett replied, &#8220;The president is going to decide what the president is going to decide.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;There are more than 50 countries in negotiation with the president,&#8221; Hassett added. &#8220;We&#8217;ve got the prime minister of Israel coming today. We&#8217;ve had a reach-out overnight from Taiwan, but I would urge everyone, especially Bill, to ease off the rhetoric a little bit. &#8230; The idea that it&#8217;s going to be a nuclear winter or something like that is completely irresponsible rhetoric.&#8221;</p>
<p>In a <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114296801411259400" target="_blank" rel="noopener">post</a> on Truth Social Monday morning, Trump again asked Americans to be patient as his tariffs on nearly every country in the world go into effect.</p>
<p>&#8220;The United States has a chance to do something that should have been done DECADES AGO. Don’t be Weak! Don’t be Stupid! Don’t be a PANICAN (A new party based on Weak and Stupid people!),&#8221; Trump wrote. &#8220;Be Strong, Courageous, and Patient, and GREATNESS will be the result!&#8221;</p>
