  U.S. business activity nearly stalled in February amid mounting fears over tariffs on imports and deep cuts in federal government spending, erasing all the gains notched in the aftermath of President Donald Trump's election victory.

The article from Reuters discusses how U.S. business activity might be restrained in 2025 due to tariffs and federal government spending cuts. It highlights that the U.S. economy could face challenges from higher tariffs, particularly those resulting from trade disputes with China, which could increase costs for businesses and consumers. Additionally, anticipated federal spending cuts, as part of efforts to reduce the national deficit, are expected to reduce government contracts and decrease economic stimulus. These factors combined could lead to a slowdown in business growth, lower consumer spending, and potentially higher unemployment rates. The article also notes that while some sectors might benefit from protectionist policies, the overall economic impact is likely to be negative, with businesses potentially facing higher operational costs and reduced market access.
