Global Supply Chain Prepares for Trump's Trade War and Tariffs

TL;DR Summary
Global logistics companies are preparing for the potential of a Trump win in November and the resulting trade war with China, with Mexico emerging as a key import gateway to mitigate additional tariffs. The Trump administration's tariffs have already prompted a shift in supply chain strategy, with companies considering diversifying away from China into other countries. Mexico is seen as a significant beneficiary of this shift, with Chinese companies setting up operations there to avoid tariffs. However, critics warn of potential economic disaster and inflationary effects if higher tariffs are imposed.
