Despite a strong stock market and mostly positive economic signs, a widespread feeling of worry is taking hold in corporate boardrooms all over the United States.

The investment banking firm suggests these worries are causing a slowdown in investment and could harm future economic growth.

However, this early excitement faded quickly as the administration pushed aggressively for trade policies that protect U.S. industries, unsettling global supply chains and creating doubt about future trade relationships.
