Republican lawmakers are growing alarmed over signs that President Trump’s expanding trade war is hurting the economy, something they’re hearing from constituents at home who are struggling to adapt to Trump’s zigzagging tariff pronouncements.

President Donald Trump's tariffs on Canada and Mexico "are an attempt to stop the bleeding" in the U.S. economy, United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain said.

Tariffs have historically triggered market volatility. When the Trump administration announced tariffs on China, markets dropped sharply before making a near-total recovery that same day. Investors should focus on long-term goals and consult their financial advisors before making portfolio changes.

Bond traders are signaling an increasing risk that the US economy will stall as President Donald Trump’s chaotic tariff rollouts and federal-workforce cuts threaten to further restrain the pace of growth.
