EU stops trade deal with the US. What is next for the EU, India, and China and trade deals with the US? And for supply chains and logistics?
Fed’s Waller: Spending on AI. That capital could go to manufacturing and upstream supply chain fe-risking and diversification. Reshore? Onshore? And the economy and jobs?
Opposition to ZIM’s sale to Hapag-Lloyd grows. Will Hapag-Lloyd seek a lower price or walk away from the deal? Any other potential buyer would face the same issues. https://t.co/sE5hMJ28vO
If retailers raised prices during tariffs, that doesn’t create a liability to each customer—it creates profit (or covers costs). So if or when tariff refunds arrive, the default outcome is: firms recoup, shoppers don’t. Bottom line: You aren't getting a penny...
Trump tariff turmoil clouds transpacific contracting season. The bigger question is Trump’s unpredictability for imports and revenue. Goes beyond the 15% and what he may do next? That supply chain risk is also logistics risk. https://t.co/mQLO4g8ITo
Trump. Is he amping up for more than 15% global tariffs? With his unpredictability, what do importer supply chains do now?
A tariff that expires in 150 days isn’t a long-run industrial policy. Firms invest on multi-year horizons. If the policy is temporary, the investment response will be, too: mostly none. (This was recorded when the tariff rate was 10%; it's...
New @nberpubs: "Industrial Policies for Multi-Stage Production: The Battle for Battery-Powered Vehicles" https://t.co/DX6XB7e1R0 "local content requirements... drive up costs and reduce subsidy uptake, undoing more than half of the EV adoption stimulus coming from pure buyer subsidies" 😲
India’s aviation expansion is often defined by large narrowbody aircraft orders. But Embraer is strengthening its India strategy in a different segment: the 80–146 seat regional jet market while advancing defence modernisation and aerospace manufacturing localisation. The push aligns with the Government’s...
China signals looser policy and faster green transition for 2026, supporting steel and non-ferrous demand. https://www.metalnomist.com/2026/02/china-2026-economic-policy-direction.html
Trump. New tariff. Boost for China and Brazil. Current tariff is for 150 days. Then what will Trump do next as to imports and revenue? Supply chain unpredictability.
L: Productivity miracle 1.0 - autos (white) replace horses (orange) in 10 yrs; horses never recover R: Productivity miracle 2.0 - China replaces US manufacturing workers; US mfg workers down ~35% in 10 yrs Productivity miracle 3.0 - AI v. white-collar jobs;...
Interesting. Will getting tariff refunds be like getting blood from a stone? What will importers do?
India postpones trip to finalize trade pact. Global uncertainty on what Trump will do after his 15% for 150 days action is done because his tariffs were deemed not legal. What is ahead for supply chains?
Organisations should evaluate vulnerabilities across multiple tiers, ranging from high-level strategic planning, operational & process risks to frontline execution.

What is the standing of Trump’s China deal? Congressional approval? What is his end game after Liberation Day tariffs struck down? What circle of hell will supply chains and logistics be in?
Is the UK the biggest loser after Trump’s tariffs are struck down? He will not stop at 15% he announced. That is only good for 150 days. Smoot-Hawley and up to 50% tariff seems more to his liking. Can Trump...
MIT-developed 3D printer can output a fully functional electric motor in a single process — team only needed to magnetize the linear motor after printing, motors cost just 50 cents each https://t.co/qW2D8hE6fc
What comes after the Supreme Court’s striking down Trump’s tariffs and his using Section 122 surcharges expire after 150 days? And the trade deals with tariffs that exceed 15%? It is all curiouser and curiouser for supply chains. And logistics?
Global trade trap. US tantrums. China bravado. How should your supply chain and its logistics change to adapt to a new trade?
Yes Europe has supply chain leverage over US; but US has escalation dominance over Europe on security policy. 👉 Security leverage trumps economic leverage https://t.co/OaW6h9iYDf https://t.co/yclXueiGNc

A tariff “refund” mostly goes to whoever wrote the tariff check: the importer of record. That’s not the same person who paid more at the register. So refunds -- if they're offered -- might sound like consumer relief, but in...

Trump raises his global tariff from 10% to 15%. All in one day. His geopolitics and geoeconomics. Is this it? Or will he do more that affects trade, supply chains, and logistics?
Global economies. Trade. Supply chains. Logistics. Was Trump’s action to the Supreme Court striking down his tariffs it? Or will there be more?
Supply Chains Brace for Renewed Turbulence as Supreme Court Strikes Down Trump Tariffs. If you have not made your supply chains flexible and adaptable, good luck. https://t.co/PfhBGWsOQa

With the Supreme Court striking down Trump’s tariffs, how will supply chains and logistics reset?
Supply chains are measured by what happened last month, the year—the past. The last six years have shown unpredictability. From Covid to Trump & trade. A lesson not learned: Firms must look forward not backwards. And that also requires supply...
Tariffs paid by midsize US companies tripled last year, a JPMorganChase Institute study shows. Pass the cost on. Layoff employees. And/or take profit hit. Cash squeeze to pay duties and invoices. https://t.co/iPsMW2h5iP
