Solved by typing random characters. Thank you.

To be uncharacteristically terse, my first guess would be an entropy issue, as per (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pa … ge_signing):

Initializing the keyring requires entropy. To generate entropy, move your mouse around, press random characters on the keyboard, or run some disk-based activity (for example in another console running ls -R / or find / -name foo or dd if=/dev/sda8 of=/dev/tty7). If your system does not already have sufficient entropy, this step may take hours; if you actively generate entropy, it will complete much more quickly.
The randomness created is used to initialize the keyring (/etc/pacman.d/gnupg) and the GPG signing key of your system. ]
