Akin lobbying & public policy partner and former senior Trump administration trade official Kelly Ann Shaw is quoted by Bloomberg and is featured on Bloomberg Surveillance TV discussing the Trump administration’s decision to postpone the imposition of tariffs until August 1 and the current tariff landscape. 

Kelly Ann tells Bloomberg that this is “the final squeeze” to get the best offers from economies willing to deal. 

She expects agreements to be reached and rates to come down as more deals close out over the next three weeks saying, “the administration is negotiating with every country on earth at the same time.” 

On Bloomberg Surveillance TV, Kelly Ann tells clients making real business decisions that “waiting it out” may be beneficial to see where the tariff landscape lands.
