It seems looking at it now, on the other side of these pauses, Trump's threatened tariffs vs two of America's two closest allies and largest trading partners, was to publicly threaten to hit them in the mouth, as a bully tactic to show the rest of the world (read: BRICS) that Trump is capable of anything.
