This time, Trump was the one reacting. Or we could consider it was a series of escalations and de-escalations, and now escalations again, from both sides, which led to this. The difference is Trump (and not only him) announces critical decisions on X (or in his case, on Truth Social), even before they are taken, sometimes as a negotiation technique. That causes a lot of mixed signals and overreactions in the markets, as "negotiation" levers are pulled through public channels, and sometimes only directed to the public opinion, not to the other party they are negotiating with.
