One of my architect friends just told me that he’s have a hard time getting paid. So now he won’t send out any drawings until payment has been made.

Just in case you're looking for an opportunity to read some more about tariffs, Howard Marks has a new memo out titled "Nobody Knows (Yet Again)." In it, he talks about comparative advantage, how global trade has benefited Americans, and what this could mean for the future. https://brandondonnelly.com/the-more-you-give,-the-more-you-get

Canada should setup a program that allows Americans to cross the border to buy goods from the international community free of tariffs.
