New Update : 🇺🇸 President Trump says another tariff pause is unlikely.
The tariff mission started with strength—protecting American workers and industries from foreign exploitation. But strength without consistency becomes chaos.

Markets tanked 8% last week as supply chains scrambled. Real leadership stabilizes. You don’t build leverage by paralyzing businesses with 48-hour rule changes.
The goal was right: end China’s dumping and Mexico’s fentanyl-flooded exports. But execution matters. No more theater—fix the strategy or scrap it.
