New trade deals are driving U.S. tariff rates to levels not seen since the 1930s—some as high as 50%. While framed as a path to “fair trade,” the impact on cost structures, supply chains, and cross-border competitiveness is immediate and material.
🔹 U.S. firms are facing rising input costs and retaliatory measures.
🔹 Foreign firms are recalibrating U.S. access strategies—either pay the tariff or localize production.
🔹 Global supply chains are fragmenting into blocs defined by political alignment and tariff risk.
💡 For the C-suite, this is not just trade policy—it’s enterprise risk.
✔️ Build tariff scenarios into your 2025–2026 strategic plans
✔️ Realign operations toward “trusted” or U.S.-aligned jurisdictions
✔️ Monitor litigation (V.O.S. v. Trump) that may redefine executive trade authority
The era of tariff-free globalization is over. How your organization responds will define your resilience, margin protection, and global positioning.
