Flexport CEO: How Tariffs Will Reshape the Flow of Global Trade

Tariffs don’t just change the cost of goods—they change where, how, and even if goods move at all. Recent trade talks threaten to upend these logistics for U.S. businesses and consumers. Uncertainties over the scope of the tariff regime, meanwhile, are growing after the U.S. Court of International Trade ruled against the administration’s key justification for the levies.

All of which raises questions for the business community: Can supply chains adapt to a new era of increasingly fragmented trade? How will the disruption impact especially small businesses? Will market forces help businesses find ways around new trade hurdles?

Ryan Petersen, CEO of Flexport, joins host Jay Sapsford to discuss this timely and important topic.
