Yes, No
Any CEO will tell you that for the purposes of planning, there needs to be a stable environment. One can forecast a year ahead, perhaps two years and put plans into action. With chaos, planning becomes unpredictable and useless. That is what is happening with President Trump's on-again-off-again imposition of tariffs on Canada and Mexico. No one knows what to do nor how to read his vacillating mind. His message is unclear and hopelessly contradictory. The best that business can do is to hold on and take short-term action that scrambles logistics and marketing. If Trump is a pro-business president, he's not demonstrating it.
