It's a mind-bending failure that the tariff discourse occurs as if the only things that exist in economies are goods and *not* services, which the US exports copiously and typically in world-leading quality

What tariffs will America charge tomorrow, and what imports will be subject to them? It seems to depend on the whims of one man. And that's not good for many American businesses.
Tariff uncertainty is stalling the economy
Businesses are reporting fewer orders, lower inventories, less employment, and weaker expectations. The only thing going up: prices.
