Editorial: Le Monde

• Donald Trump resorts to pretense to manage events that overwhelm him.
• The U.S. president has reversed his decision on most tariffs, except for China which has seen an increase.
• The financial market has won the first round in this face-off with the Trump administration.
• The constant change of objectives and positions make political analysis difficult.
• Constant deceits and political maneuvers question the consequence of Trump's leadership.
• Trump justified his tariff flip-flop arguing he was watching the delicate bond market.
• The world is filled with uncertainty due to the instability of the Trump administration.

Conclusion: Donald Trump displays an irresponsible attitude that oscillates between frivolity and denial, causing uncertainty and speculation in global markets and governments.
