Tariffs


Navigating Shifting U.S. Tariff & Trade Policy

With unprecedented tariff actions and trade measures—including Section 232 investigations and expanded International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) authorities—that have defined the early months of the Trump Administration, companies face a rapidly changing regulatory environment. Timothy C. Brightbill unpacks the implications of these developments and what they signal for global commerce and supply chain strategy.

U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA)

With reciprocal tariffs reshaping trade dynamics around the world, the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) has taken on increased importance for businesses and manufacturers navigating U.S. import rules. Greta M. Peisch explores how the upcoming 2026 review—and the Administration’s effort to realign supply chains—may shift the agreement’s scope and strategic value.

Trade Remedies
