Akin lobbying & public policy partner and former senior Trump administration trade official Kelly Ann Shaw is quoted by The New York Times in an article titled, “It’s No Bluff: The Tariff Rate Is Soaring Under Trump.” The article examines the second Trump administration’s trade and economic policy, including its use of tariffs, and the impact on global trade.

Kelly Ann tells The New York Times that it was clear that tariffs were “one of the pillars of the second Trump administration’s economic policy.”

In an appearance on Bloomberg Surveillance TV, Kelly Ann says she is expecting to see a “bunch of deals” by August 1, but for the countries who don’t have deals, she expects “to see those tariff rates go up.”

Kelly Ann also appeared on CBC and is quoted by CBC on Canada specific tariffs.
