Summary

As US tariffs and trade restrictions continue to evolve and extend beyond China, companies are reassessing their supply chain strategies and rethinking their long-term China and global manufacturing footprint.


At the same time, new trade and regulatory measures are also emerging, adding further complexity to global sourcing and manufacturing decisions.


This session will examine the current US tariffs landscape and explore how companies are adapting to an increasingly complex trade environment and building more resilient supply chains.


Join us to exchange perspectives, share best practices, and better prepare for the challenges and opportunities ahead.
