How to Manage During a Trade Dispute with USMCA Partners

Senior Policy Advisor Peter Tabor and International Trade attorneys Andrew McAllister and Molly O'Casey co-authored a Law360 article delving into tariff threats announced by President-Elect Donald Trump. The article analyzes the implications of Trump's proposed 25 percent tariffs on Mexico and Canada, exploring the legal mechanisms under which they might be imposed and the potential impact on trade relationships and supply chains. Noting the plan occurs against the backdrop of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USCMA), the authors provide guidance on how companies can creatively navigate these challenges, including evaluating supply chains, advocating for tariff exemptions and exploring alternative sourcing strategies.

They previously published a Holland & Knight alert on this topic.

International Trade attorneys Robert A. Friedman, Antonia Tzinova and Francisco Sanchez also contributed to this article.
