Part 5/7:
As significant as tariffs are the upcoming discussions around tax policies that will influence the U.S. economy. The conversation acknowledged the ambitious agenda set forth by the president-elect, which seeks to undo many policies instituted by the current administration.

Furthermore, the potential for legislative chaos in the new Congress was a point of concern, particularly with conflicting opinions among Republican representatives regarding their leadership and legislative strategy.
