Doug McHoney (PwC’s International Tax Services Global Leader) is joined by Kristin Bohl, a Partner in PwC’s Customs and International Trade Practice. Kristin previously served as a judicial law clerk at the U.S. Court of International Trade. Doug and Kristin discuss the rapidly evolving trade and tariff landscape, focusing on the recent executive orders imposing new tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China under the ‘America First’ trade policy. They break down the impact of tariffs on industries such as automotive, pharmaceuticals, retail, and technology, and cover strategies that businesses can deploy to mitigate costs. Key topics include the authority of the US President to impose tariffs, the role of trade deficits in tariff policy, and the use of tariffs as a foreign policy tool. They also explore potential retaliatory measures from US trading partners, the impact on global supply chains, and short to long-term strategies for businesses to adapt to the new tariff regime.
