Trade policy is an active business variable. Tariffs, export controls, national security reviews, sanctions, and industrial policy can affect what the company sells, where it sources, which acquisitions clear, and how fast competitors can move. CEOs who build government and policy relationships before they need them gain early warning, influence where appropriate, and speed when policy changes.
