The 'Trump Round' of trade negotiations has unleashed widespread disruption to global commerce, triggering a wholesale reorganization of supply chains and forcing countries to choose between capitulation and coordinated resistance.
Greenland has been in the news as Trump has insisted that the U.S. should own it, and Denmark is not willing to give it up.

The One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB) is now the law of the land. Among the provisions in this expansive legislation are incentives to encourage business investment. But, how will the bill affect our supply chains, and will it provide support to grow domestic manufacturing? Lisa Anderson joined the DC Velocity podcast to offer some insights.
The U.S.–Mexico trade relationship is one of the most critical drivers of manufacturing supply chains today. With more than $800 billion in goods crossing the border annually, companies on both sides are rethinking their strategies for sourcing, production, logistics, and growth.
The merger of Union Pacific & Norfolk Southern marks one of the biggest shifts in U.S. rail. In this Supply Chain Byte, Lisa Anderson explains how this deal could reshape freight movement, capacity and reliability across the country—and what it means for manufacturers and distributors relying on rail to keep supply chains running.
A cargo spill can cause more than a mess — it can delay shipments, raise safety concerns and disrupt the supply chain. In this Supply Chain Byte, Lisa Anderson breaks down how to plan for the unexpected, coordinate with partners and adjust plans through SIOP to minimize disruption.
Distributors play a critical role in the supply chain in connecting manufacturers to customers with inventory, logistics, and fulfillment. As tariffs, geopolitical risks, and tax and regulatory changes take place, supply chains will evolve. Forward-thinking distributors are determining how to mitigate risks and take advantage of the opportunities that emerge with artificial intelligence and advanced technologies.
The Southern California ports had a record-breaking month as the tariffs smoothed out and companies started preparing for peak season. As supply chains evolve significantly over the next several years, logistics systems will evolve. Companies must think ahead, predictively evolve their networks, modernize and upgrade their facilities, processes, and technologies.
Lisa Anderson participated on a panel for the Lou Desmond radio show to discuss the record-breaking month for the Southern California ports, the latest economic indicators for manufacturing and supply chain, impacts related to tariffs, and likely interest rate cuts in the fall as well as the importance of critical minerals in driving global supply chains.
