Global trade is facing unprecedented disruption. This episode of the EY Tax and Law in Focus podcast examines how changing US tariff policies, retaliatory measures, and shifting power dynamics are reshaping the trading landscape.
Host Susannah Streeter is joined by Jeroen Scholten, EY Global Trade Leader, Indirect Tax; Luke Branson, EY Australia Global Trade Leader; and Shenshen Lin, EY UK Global Trade Partner. Together, they explore how tariffs have evolved from being a purely economic measure to a geopolitical lever, and what that means for supply chains, logistics, tax, and transfer pricing. The discussion highlights why cross-functional collaboration is critical, the role of AI and analytics in modelling tariff impacts, and how businesses can balance short-term responses with long-term strategic positioning.
