President Trump's trade war has created chaos for companies around the world, rumbling supply chains, sowing uncertainty and confusing their ability to plan for the future.
After announcing prices that started at 20% for almost all imports of European Union members – and more on other countries – the president has increased the rate to 10% until July, saying that his administration will use time to negotiate bilateral agreements with American business partners. At the same time, Trump increased a trade war with China, potentially tightening European companies.
We are a team of journalists who write on commercial and economic problems in Europe for the New York Times. In recent weeks, we have covered how the prices have affected the automotive industry, financial markets and economic expectations for European countries.
To better understand the impact that prices have on companies in Europe, including Great Britain, we would like to hear business owners, entrepreneurs, managers and employees. How could import taxes assign your business or job? Have you delayed hiring, postponed expansion plans or canceled orders? Have you changed your supply chains? We would also like to hear what prices mean for your production and if you plan to move part of it in the United States.
We will read every answer and contact if we want to know more. We will not publish any part of your answer without contacting you first and obtaining your consent. Your contact details will not be shared outside the Times writing room and we will only use it to contact you.
