Some sectors are falling fast, while others show phenomenal growth.

Let me put some numbers behind a trend you might have noticed: More than ten major musical artists have outright canceled their tours in 2026. Dozens of music festivals have called off their dates. At the same time, the average concert ticket in the U.S. has climbed over $140, while BTS has raked in $1 million in sales per month for several months.

Cutting off countries that export more to us than they import would mean ending trade with 95 countries and territories: China, Taiwan, South Korea, Israel - even Burundi.
