Donald Trump says the changes to his tariff policy show he's flexible.  

He's put a 90-day pause on additional tariffs and lowered tariffs on all countries to 10% – except China.  

Instead, Trump hiked China's rate from 104% to 125%.  

He's thanked Americans for bearing with him and promised better days are coming. 

Finance Minister Nicola Willis told Mike Hosking things are uncertain, but their view is that we need to stay the course. 

She says they can’t controll what happens elsewhere in the world, but they can control what they do here at home.
