not going to happen . That would be rewarding China for a worldwide infection, and dithering trade talks
WASHINGTON — President Trump continues to resist calls from hundreds of companies to drop tariffs he has placed on foreign goods, arguing that the levies do not impose costs on American companies, despite economic evidence to the contrary.
The Trump administration has been weighing an executive order that would defer tariff payments on some imports, though not cancel the levies outright. But Mr. Trump said Tuesday evening that he had yet to approve the measure, and it was not clear if the administration would ultimately proceed with it.
“That might be, but I’m going to have to approve the plan,” Mr. Trump said of lowering tariffs. He pushed back on news reports that he had made a decision, saying, “I approve everything and they haven’t presented it to me, so therefore it’s false reporting.”
People familiar with the deliberations say the administration has been weighing such a deferral, which would apply to the “most-favored nation” tariffs the United States has long imposed on goods from around the globe, rather than the levies Mr. Trump has imposed on Chinese products or foreign metals.
While the administration previously considered a 90-day deferral, recent discussions have included a 30-day deferral, and people with knowledge of the situation cautioned that the plans remain in flux.

I wonder if seeking public comments on any tariffs is normal by a US Trade Rep?
( it was Lighthizer -not Trump who asked for that)

Mixed feelings overall, sure you do as well..
As an investor in the market I have skin in the game & don't want to see companies failing nor threatening to do so to achieve handouts from trump..
I worry about recouping all the monies handed out/loaned to them, especially since it seems appropriate for many of the companies asking for a hand-out will pay out bonuses while maintaining armies of tax attorneys working 24/7 to beat us out of every nickle in taxes they can get....
