Nat Halvorson, a partner in Baker McKenzie’s International Trade Practice, published an article in Global Trade Magazine discussing the emergence of a new US trade architecture and the policies shaping it. He examines how longstanding trade authorities, tariff measures and evolving trade agreements are influencing the direction of US trade policy and creating a new baseline for businesses operating globally.
Nat explains that tariffs are increasingly being treated as a structural feature of the commercial environment rather than a temporary policy tool, prompting companies to reassess supply chains, sourcing strategies and production locations. He also discusses the evolving role of the USMCA, suggesting that ongoing reviews and negotiations may reshape the agreement into a more dynamic framework for managing trade relations among the United States, Canada and Mexico.
Ultimately, Nat suggests that US trade policy is entering a new era in which tariffs, trade enforcement tools and strategic economic priorities play a more prominent role in shaping the global trading landscape.
