Donald Trump's aggressive trade policies increased the costs of importing goods and complicated trade rules, making them unpredictable.

Companies around the world had no choice but to quickly change the way they manage supply chains, plan pricing, and choose global partners.
Companies relying on overseas factories had to pass the new costs onto customers, find new suppliers in other countries, or figure out how to work with a confusing evolving tariff system that made each shipment more expensive and difficult to track.
Many companies realized that their old systems were not quick or smart enough to handle all the changes, as tariff laws could now change overnight and expose their operations to risks they could not predict.
AI has become a lifeline for companies to understand their supply chains, reduce their exposure to tariffs, and find new ways to cut costs.
Trump started a trade war and companies turned to AI.
The Trump administration introduced tariffs that made global trade more tense and unpredictable for companies that had spent decades building international supply chains.
Trump's tariffs affected vehicles and electric batteries, while others targeted raw materials, machinery, consumer electronics, and simple products like textiles and furniture.
Given that the U.S. customs system has over 20,000 product categories, each could face a different rate or rule depending on the country of origin and trade status.
This uncertainty forced companies to go back and analyze thousands of product categories, long harmonized tariff planning codes, and determine which parts of their inventory were now affected.
