Webcast: Tariffs, Jobs, and Trump: Accelerating Reshoring

President-Elect Trump’s key appointments provide insight into how he will convert campaign slogans into policy. We will attempt to distinguish between campaign posturing, negotiation positions and committed actions. The greatest emphasis continues to be on tariffs. Aggressive deportations and failure to jump-start training would result in severe labor/skills shortages that will undermine the push to bring manufacturing back.

Join Harry Moser, Founder of the Reshoring Initiative, and Chris Semenuk, Portfolio Manager for the Tema Reshoring Strategy, for an insightful discussion on the post-election implications and outlook for reshoring.

Harry Moser

Founder & President, Reshoring Initiative

The Reshoring Initiative, founded in early 2010 by Harry Moser, takes action by helping manufacturers realize that local production, in some cases, reduces their total cost of ownership of purchased parts and tooling. The Initiative also trains suppliers how to effectively meet the needs of their local customers, giving the suppliers the tools to sell against lower priced offshore competitors.
