Takeaways

• Trump's presidency will almost 100% signify a tariff on all international imports.
• Companies will have no choice but to either increase their prices, absorb the cost, or to look at sourcing locally.
• Other than that, expect higher freight costs in the near term. Almost everyone will be placing more orders before tariffs are implemented, which will spike up freight costs.
• Big tech will certainly be affected too.
• Trump's stance on TikTok has softened.
• Amazon and Trump have a rough relationship, and its unlikely that Trump will ease their FTC issues.
