  • Discuss key drivers behind recent U.S. tariff decisions.

Course Overview

In April 2025, a dramatic shift in U.S. trade policy under President Donald Trump sent shockwaves through the global economy. Dubbed “Liberation Day,” the announcement of sweeping tariffs—some as high as 54%—triggered financial market chaos and diplomatic backlash.

Just a week later, mounting pressure from over 75 countries and rising market volatility led to a 90-day pause and a revised 10% reciprocal tariff plan. But even with this softening, key industries remain under heavy levies—and the economic landscape is far from settled. This CPE course breaks down the timeline, the motivations, and the aftermath of these tariffs, exploring how the rapid changes are reshaping global trade and investment strategies. You’ll examine the effects of the policy on global supply chains, U.S. industries, and investor behavior, including the market rally sparked by the pause. We'll also dive into the economic and political rationale behind the ongoing tariffs, especially those on autos, steel, aluminum, and USMCA non-compliant goods.

Major Topics:

  • Global Reactions and Retaliatory Tariffs
  • Inflation, Recession Fears, and the Fed's Dilemma
  • Tariffs and State-Level Indirect Taxes
  • The Economic Mechanics of Tariffs
  • The Broader Impact on the U.S. Economy
  • Currency Dynamics and Central Bank Responses
  • U.S. Legal Complexities

Whether you're advising clients or guiding corporate strategy, this CPE course equips you with the knowledge and tools to respond to this volatile moment in global trade history. Don't miss this timely course to better understand what's at stake and how to stay ahead.
