Akin lobbying & public policy partner and former senior Trump administration trade official Kelly Ann Shaw appeared on Bloomberg Surveillance TV to discuss the Trump administration’s new framework agreements with Latin American countries, trade deals and potential tariff cuts to address affordability concerns.  

Kelly Ann tells Bloomberg that the White House is continuing its strategy of imposing high tariff rates and negotiating with trading partners to land at a more reasonable rate.  

“The President was always going to come out swinging at the beginning to make this huge move to try to negotiate with every country on Earth and then land the plane at a lower rate.”
