Corporate America’s $280B Dilemma: How CEOs Are Racing to Dodge Trump Tariffs

Business leaders have launched an unprecedented lobbying blitz against Trump’s tariff plan, with:

• Amazon threatening 15% fulfillment fee hikes
• Tesla warning of $7,000 Model Y price increases
• PhRMA projecting drug shortages

“The math is brutal – this forces complete supply chain rewrites,” said Nike’s John Donahoe. Contingency plans include:
✓ $28B in emergency inventory stockpiling
✓ 42% acceleration of “China+1” strategies
✓ 18-month production shifts to Malaysia/India

Most vulnerable industries:
→ Consumer electronics (78% China-dependent)
→ Auto parts ($120B annual imports)
→ Industrial chemicals (92% tariff exposure)
