CEOs Panic as Trump Ignores Tariff Warnings
Despite intense lobbying efforts, President-elect Trump remains steadfast in his plan to impose significant tariffs on US allies, a decision surprising even some within his own circle. Executives are struggling to influence his thinking, hampered by his unilateral decision-making process and late-night social media announcements. His advisors, including Senator Rubio, often receive minimal advance notice of these policy shifts, leaving them scrambling to react. This lack of internal coordination and the President-elect’s firm stance suggest significant challenges ahead for those hoping to avert the proposed tariffs.
