In the private sector, companies are rapidly adjusting their supply chains and production locations, with fashion brand Steve Madden planning a substantial reduction of China-made products to mitigate tariff risks.
European leaders are reconsidering their defense budgets and commitments due to Trump's focus on NATO spending, leading to a rise in European defense stocks post-election.
Taiwan is considering significant arms purchases to demonstrate their commitment to defense, a calculated move in the context of Trump's stance on international protection.
