@YahooFinance Tariffs taking the long way into consumer prices — a reminder that supply chains absorb shocks slowly, then release them all at once. The 2026 uptick is less about demand, more about delayed policy gravity. #SEEC

“Only an international force under strong U.S. leadership can provide the security needed for effective governance, the smooth flow of humanitarian aid, and rapid reconstruction in Gaza,” argues @jpanikoff.
