Throughout Donald Trump’s campaign, a prominent theme was the candidate’s willingness to address perceived shortcomings in the United States’ trade policies and dealings with foreign countries. Trump’s campaign proposals ranged from the revocation of existing and pending free trade agreements (FTAs) to significant changes in U.S. trade relations with several major economies, including Mexico and China. Several of Trump’s proposed trade policy fixes are slated to be implemented during his first 100 days in office. These reforms, should they come to pass, would have a significant impact on U.S. trade relations and are likely to invite legal challenges at the World Trade Organization (WTO) and under other agreements. For companies engaged in international trade activities, Trump’s proposals have the potential to disrupt global supply chains, investment decisions and business operations in multiple markets.
