Brenda Swick has been quoted in the article “Trump doubles down on 25% tariffs for Canada and Mexico, ordering sweeping review of trade policies,” published by The Globe and Mail.
Writes Nojoud Al Mallees and Nathan Vanderklippe: “North America’s free-trade agreement is set to be scrutinized as part of a sweeping investigation into U.S. trade policy that was ordered by President Donald Trump, who is pushing an “America first” approach to business matters upon his return to the White House.”
“At the same time, the wide-ranging trade review provides some guidance on the Trump administration’s top concerns, but the document offers little certainty to Canadian officials and businesses about the policies it’s likely to pursue, trade lawyers in Canada said on Tuesday.”
Says Brenda: “This is a very broad reaching trade policy initiative by the United States that can, if implemented, drastically change trade patterns and supply chain relationships and the viability of many companies that rely on the United States as their primary export market.”
