Mollie Sitkowski, a partner in Faegre Drinker’s customs and international trade practice, provides a preliminary review of issues and policies companies need to consider that may impact supply chains and U.S. trade as a result of the 2024 election.

In the podcast, Mollie discusses several key topics related to the incoming Trump administration’s trade policy. She covers the administration’s overall approach, the distinction between policy positions and negotiating stances, increased support for antidumping and countervailing duty petitions on specific imported products, the potential of retaliatory tariffs, and the future of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA).
