Uncertainty is the enemy of being able to plan, well, anything. Uncertainty leads to unease, anxiety, and a whole bunch of unpleasant feelings that can impact anyone's ability to make good, clearheaded decisions. I probably don't need to tell you that; these are things that you probably already know, and have personally experienced. Knowing things, even if they're bad, is generally better than that strange liminal space where you don't know (so you catastrophize to keep your brain busy).
Because once you know what's happening (again, even if it's bad news), you can plan. And more importantly, you can act. You have a sense of direction at last, instead of staying in the pool and treading water until you figure it out.
That's why the current US administration's international tariffs approach has effectively acted like a wrecking ball, at least in terms of overall confidence levels. So far, there's been talk of one thing, then another; a walkback over here, a delay over here, and so on. Swing your partner; do-si-do; it's absolute chaos. I'll leave it to you to debate whether it's intentional or not; I'm certainly not in anyone's head, and frankly, I don't want to be.
