Businesses that rely on exports, like wheat growers, are growing increasingly nervous as well. This was apparent following a recent trade delegation visit through the Pacific Northwest that included mill operators and grain buyers from four Southeast Asian countries: Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam and the Philippines. Such visits are routine, especially at harvest time. Washington state is the nation's top wheat exporting state - about 90% of the dryland wheat grown here is trucked or shipped by river barge to west coast ports.

World shares mostly rose Tuesday, with financial markets shrugging off U.S. tariff pressures on its trading partners. In early European trading, Germany's DAX rose 0.2% to 24,112.38. Britain's FTSE 100 edged 0.2% higher to 8,822.09.
