I'm on the hunt for a weed killer that's available in the USA. I need something effective that will completely eliminate weeds but won't damage the soil for future planting. My goal is to clear out the weeds now while still being able to plant flowers or crops later without any negative effects. Can anyone suggest a good product?

Before you go for products, what exactly are you trying to kill? Different weeds need different approaches. Are they common ones or more aggressive types like crabgrass or Bermuda? That can help narrow down your options!
Most herbicides typically break down after some time or with rain, so I wouldn't worry too much about soil damage long-term. Just keep an eye on your specific product recommendations. Roundup can linger in the soil longer than you'd like, so it might be best to avoid that one.
Have you thought about using vinegar? It can kill weeds pretty effectively! Just keep in mind that it's a bit of manual labor if you want to hand weed too. Many products are just poisons, and the natural stuff can be a lot safer for the environment.
Thanks for the heads up! I definitely want to keep the soil healthy.
