On February 5, 2024, Cassels hosted a webinar looking at the Trump Administration’s trade policies, featuring experts who understand the legal, regulatory, and policy landscape on both sides of the border: Brenda C. Swick and Orlando E. Silva from Cassels and Evan Chuck, David R. Stepp, and Aaron Cummings from Crowell.
Several Crowell partners have had distinguished careers in different branches of the US government – including presenter Aaron Cummings who served as Chief of Staff to US Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) – and can provide unique and important insights on how businesses can prepare for what lies ahead.
This session focused on:
- the Trump Administration’s policy objectives, including tariffs, and how they will be implemented, plus possible recourses
- the Canadian government’s retaliation measures, including tariffs, and how they will be implemented, plus possible recourses
- if applicable by the date of the session, the new Trump Administration’s already imposed tariffs on Canadian exports and Canada’s retaliation measures
For a critical review of current policies and what Canadian businesses might expect going forward, listen to the presentation recording here.
