President Donald Trump's November election win drove a surge in business optimism and expectations for capital spending. Four months later, executives have shifted to wait-and-see mode.
The article from MSN discusses how U.S. businesses are currently holding back on their spending and investment plans due to uncertainties surrounding tariffs and the potential for tax cuts.

The article highlights that this wait-and-see attitude is affecting sectors like manufacturing, where decisions on new factories or equipment upgrades are being delayed.
