Can the international supply chain survive the current political and economic climate?

Donta Muskett

Hmm, that's a tough one. I mean, there are so many factors at play right now. On one hand, there's the whole trade war thing between the US and China, which has definitely caused some disruptions in the international supply chain. And then there's Brexit, which is throwing a wrench in things for companies that do business in the UK and the EU.

But you know, I think the supply chain is pretty resilient. It's been through a lot over the years, and it's managed to adapt and evolve each time. I mean, look at how quickly companies were able to pivot during the pandemic to keep goods moving despite all the lockdowns and travel restrictions.

Of course, that's not to say there won't be some challenges ahead. I think we're going to see more companies looking to diversify their supply chains to reduce their reliance on any one country or region. And there could be more regulations and tariffs coming down the pipeline that will impact the flow of goods.

Overall though, I'm cautiously optimistic. As long as there's demand for goods and services, companies will find a way to get them where they need to go. It might not be easy, and there might be some bumps along the way, but the supply chain has proven time and time again that it's a pretty resilient beast.
