Nintendo pulls Switch 2 pre-orders in US over Trump tariffs

Nintendo delayed the US pre-order launch of the Switch 2, originally planned for April 9.
President Trump's new tariffs on goods from Japan and Vietnam caused the delay.
Nintendo will announce updated timing later, but the June 5 launch date remains unchanged.
Nintendo stated the reason for the delay is to "assess the potential impact of tariffs and evolving market conditions."
The tariffs, including 24% on Japan and 46% on Vietnam, may affect Switch 2 pricing.
