and possibly greatly reduced foreign investment for 3 years

“Other attorneys and I are hearing from companies in Asia and Europe who say, ‘Maybe we should hold off on big investments in the U.S. for at least three years.’”

Exactly. If I'm a foreign company thinking about setting up a factory in the US, I'd probably pass.

With the tariffs it's already going to be hard to get the equipment you need into the US without spending a significant amount of money. But now you run the risk of the US arresting and deporting all your skilled workers setting up and managing that factory? No thank you.

Absolutely braindead move.
