US President Donald Trump hit markets with yet another structural pivot on his tariff agenda, announcing some temporary exemptions for certain sectors, as well as getting his 25% tariffs against Mexico and Canada muddled up with his separate "reciprocal tariff" strategy that is currently slated to come into effect in April. While giving comments to reporters at the White House, President Trump meandered back and forth through several topics.
Details on reciprocal tariffs remain almost entirely absent, other than the Trump administration's insistence that they are definitely happening next month. Donald Trump's haphazard policy approach on whether or not he's imposing tariffs on some of the US' closest trading allies, but then announcing after-the-fact delays or extensions, is leaving many market participants confused about who is actually paying what.
Trumpl announce a new program for shipbuilding soon.
Most tariffs to start April 2nd.

I told automakers not to come back on April 2nd.
We have to protect Japan, but they don't have to defend us.
Ukraine wants a deal.
