As the U.S. presidential election approaches, supply chains are preparing for potential changes based on policy shifts, with some manufacturers already adjusting their strategies. Both candidates, Trump and Harris, have discussed reducing dependency on international sources, such as China, and increasing domestic manufacturing, though their proposed methods vary.
Trump’s approach has included the use of tariffs on foreign goods and reducing regulatory requirements for businesses, potentially impacting trade dynamics and inflation. Additionally, he has proposed adjustments to current environmental policies and climate initiatives, which he believes could benefit domestic industries.
Harris is expected to continue the current administration’s approach, emphasising alliances and selective trade policies, especially in sectors such as renewable energy and technology.
Regardless of the election’s outcome, the incoming administration will face ongoing discussions around costs, and infrastructure workforce challenges within the U.S.
