A top business consultant says that Trump's trade policies are forcing business leaders build 'tariff war rooms'

To build a playbook for these times, a one-off strategy session won't suffice.

The article from Fortune, published on February 6, 2025, discusses former President Donald Trump's potential trade policies if he were to return to office. It highlights how Trump's previous administration implemented significant tariffs, particularly on Chinese goods, leading to a trade war. CEOs and business leaders are now preparing for a possible "tariff war room" scenario, where they would strategize to mitigate the impacts of new tariffs. The piece notes that Trump's trade policies could involve even higher tariffs, targeting not just China but also allies like the EU, Mexico, and Canada. This has led to concerns among corporate leaders about increased costs, supply chain disruptions, and potential retaliation from trade partners. The article also mentions that some companies are already lobbying for exemptions or preparing alternative supply chains to navigate the potential trade turbulence.
