Stay updated with the FWNOW Morning Minute for May 12th. We cover the significant 90-day pause on tariff increases between the United States and China, aiming to ease the ongoing trade war and boosting global financial markets as US tariffs decrease to 30% and China's to 10%. This truce allows for negotiations towards a more comprehensive agreement, reinforcing the importance of economic ties and international cooperation in logistics.
