Despite promises of increased foreign investment due to tariffs, recent trends reveal that many international firms remain cautious. At a major investment summit, Asian companies expressed reluctance to engage in the U.S. market, largely attributing their hesitance to the ongoing trade wars and tariff implications. While some companies, like Indorama, have made significant deals, the general sentiment among foreign investors indicates a lack of appetite for U.S. investments. The uncertainty surrounding investment policies under the Trump administration continues to deter foreign companies, leading them to consider alternatives to mitigate the effects of tariffs.
