In the Era of Supply Chain Resilience, Speed Alone No Longer Wins

“Can your supply chain survive tomorrow’s political headline?”
That’s the essential question facing global businesses today.

After the Trump administration imposed a 145% tariff on Chinese imports, international trade was jolted into uncertainty. Then, on May 12, the U.S. and China struck a 90-day truce, scaling back tariffs to 30% (U.S.) and 10% (China).

But let’s be clear: this is not resolution—it’s only a pause.
The core issue is no longer tariffs alone, but the unpredictability of trade policy itself. For Korean businesses, this means it's time to stop relying on a unified global strategy and instead embrace a diversified, regionally adaptive model.

This edition of STREAMLINE distills insights from the Harvard Business Review Roundtable and the latest diplomatic developments to provide a tactical playbook for supply chain leaders navigating today's volatile reality.
