Economies is their word, and that includes Mexico and Canada.

There is a public comment period, so nothing's actually final, but handwriting wall, you know.

There is a numerical and alphabetical stew of laws and subsections and deadlines that are in play here.

301, 122, IEPA, those are the tariffs that the Supreme Court threw out.

We caught up with our customs broker, Gretchen Blau.

She's at Logistics Plus in Erie, Pennsylvania, to hear how things are going.

Can you imagine how crazy making all that is?

Bridges and container ships don't really mix.

You know, first though, let's do the numbers.

Dow Industrials down 620 points.

One and two-tenths of one percent finished at 50,687.

The Nasdaq down 239.

That is nine-tenths percent.

26,853.

The S&P 500 subtracted 56 points.

Seven-tenths of one percent.
