Akin lobbying & public policy senior counsel Josh Teitelbaum is quoted by CNBC in an article titled “Chemicals industry, freight rails brace for Trump tariffs on Canada, Mexico.” The piece examines the surge of executive orders President Trump signed on the first day of his second presidency, and how the trade review executive order will impact U.S. shippers and trade policy with Mexico and Canada.
Josh tells CNBC, “The business community is pleased to see Trump take a gradual approach before moving forward with wide-ranging tariffs.” He continues, “President Trump is still the decider on his trade policy. He can move more quickly if he wants to, like on tariffs on Mexico and Canada. Given what we know President Trump ultimately wants on trade, this was a positive start to the administration.”
