Authored By: Claude-Henry Pignon
The Trump administration ushered in a new era of global trade policies, reshaping relationships between the U.S. and its key partners, including Europe. With tariffs imposed on industries such as steel, aluminum, and automobiles, European businesses faced significant challenges in maintaining supply chain efficiency and market competitiveness. The renegotiation of trade agreements like the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) further added to the uncertainty, forcing companies to rethink their strategies in response to evolving regulations.
For European businesses and their clients, adapting to these trade policy shifts required resilience and proactive decision-making. From supply chain diversification to regulatory compliance, companies had to find new ways to navigate market volatility. Understanding the long-term implications of these policies has become essential for businesses seeking to mitigate risks and sustain profitability in a rapidly changing global trade environment.
