On February 26, 2025, Drew & Napier LLC and WilmerHale hosted a closed-door discussion in Singapore, focusing on the significant shifts in US trade policy under President Trump's new administration. With a Republican-controlled House and Senate, the Trump Administration has enacted a series of executive actions since January 2025, signaling profound changes in tariffs, export controls, economic sanctions, inbound and outbound investment controls, and trade enforcement.
The seminar offered valuable insights into how businesses in Asia can adapt to the evolving US trade landscape and safeguard their investments, supply chains and business relationships. Attendees benefited from the expertise of speakers from WilmerHale and Drew & Napier, including former US government officials and former in-house counsel, gaining a deeper understanding of the potential risks and strategies to mitigate them.
