Welcome back Jeremy Page, renowned trade attorney and partner at Page Fura Law Firm, a leading expert in international trade compliance. With decades of experience navigating the complex world of global trade regulations, Jeremy brings unparalleled insights into tariff strategies, customs enforcement, and supply chain challenges. In this must-watch episode, Jeremy dissects the latest trade remedies, from Section 301 tariffs to reciprocal trade policies, revealing how these regulations impact businesses and consumers alike. Whether you're an import-export professional, small business owner, or simply curious about how global trade affects everyday prices, Jeremy breaks down complex trade policies into digestible, actionable insights. "These companies were barely absorbing 25% tariffs. They operate on very small margins. Steel, aluminum at 50% - I mean, they were barely absorbent if that ... they don't have market leverage, and they don't have the built-in capital to either absorb these costs or bring production back here. There should be a floor below which these tariffs don't apply for certain types of companies, because smaller companies are always the growth industry." - Jeremy Page The current complex and rapidly changing trade environment, businesses must: Involve trade compliance experts early in strategic planning Build a multi-functional, educated team that understands trade complexities Be cautious of quick "creative" solutions that might lead to compliance risks Stay informed about nuanced regulatory changes Recognize that compliance is no longer just a cost center, but a strategic business function Contact Jeremy: website - https://pagefura.com/ LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeremy-page-40b4aa6/  In the midst of all this chaos, education is your best ally.

This week on the Mark Levin Show, open borders, radicalized college campuses, and biased media drive cultural decay in the U.S. Unvetted immigration from conflict zones, homegrown terrorism fueled by media misrepresentation, and Marxist indoctrination in universities are key issues. A Marxist allegedly killed two people in D.C. weeks ago and now an Egyptian illegal immigrant allegedly tried to kill people protesting Hamas in Boulder, Colorado, with Molotov cocktails. Biden's policies worsened these problems, and outlets like CNN and the New York Times spread Hamas propaganda, such as false claims of Israeli attacks. The United States is among the most religiously tolerant nations, with the Constitution ensuring freedoms for all, regardless of beliefs. Faith acts as a moral foundation, moderating behavior and fostering societal civility, even influencing non-believers through surrounding values. Christianity does not seek political control, in contrast to political Islam, which aims for centralized authority over society and government. Without an enlightenment embracing individual liberty, Islam's dominant establishment often supports Islamism, which clashes with Western values. Importing such ideologies into the U.S. may lead to resistance against assimilation, as seen in parts of Europe and emerging in America. An Egyptian national, illegally in the U.S. after overstaying a tourist visa, allegedly attacked Jewish Americans, including a Holocaust survivor, in Boulder, Colorado. The Biden administration's lax vetting and work permit issuance enabled this incident. How many people do we have like this in America? Mark contrasts Alexander Hamilton's vision of a strong central government with Jefferson and Madison's preference for limited federal power and strong state authority. Hamilton's ideas, like a lifelong executive and senators, were rejected by most framers, who favored state-centric governance, as Madison emphasized in Federalist 45. Hamilton's support for implied powers (Federalist 33) appeals to modern advocates of activist government. Elon Musk's push for spending cuts right now is nonsensical. Tax cuts are urgently needed to boost the economy and help Republicans maintain control during the midterms. Yes, spending is out of control but addressing it all at once is challenging. The Convention of States movement is a vital, under-discussed solution to institutionally fix congressional dysfunction, with frustration over Musk and others' lack of support or mention of this critical initiative for long-term conservative fiscal reform. Democrats are misrepresenting the bill's effects, exaggerating economic harm, and overlooking their own $2 trillion Inflation Reduction Act. Also, a nuclear deal proposal offered to Iran was rejected by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The deal required Iran to stop uranium enrichment. Iran's firm rejection may lead to consequences from President Trump if their stance continues. A Chinese couple were charged with smuggling a biological pathogen into the U.S. Communist China is trying to poison us and kill our crops. This is what happens when you have open borders and democrats. Meanwhile, Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs vetoed a bill limiting Chinese land ownership near military bases. Some Democrats are special pleaders for the enemy. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

We spoke with Ryan Bennett and Trang from Fluke and Fortive to understand how recent tariff changes are affecting their companies. They explained that the pace of these changes is extremely fast, creating a sense of crisis for their businesses. Because tariffs can be announced and implemented with little warning, companies are left scrambling to respond, often without clear guidance on what will happen next. This uncertainty makes it difficult to plan for the future, invest in new projects, or make decisions about supply chains and pricing. Learn what their found opportunities are. Connect with the experts Ryan Bennett: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryanmbennett/  Trang Pham: https://www.linkedin.com/in/trangdpham/    Main Points/Takeaways: 1. Rapid Pace of Change - The last four months have felt like years in the trade world - Unprecedented speed of tariff and trade policy changes - Constant need for real-time adaptation 2. Cross-Functional Communication - Daily leadership meetings are crucial - Breaking down silos between departments (sales, procurement, engineering, trade compliance) - Holistic approach to understanding trade impacts 3. Resilience and Opportunity - Don't just react, create durable long-term strategies - Use challenges as opportunities to improve business processes - Focus on sustainable supply chain improvements Key Insights/Quotes: "Don't let a crisis go to waste" - Ryan Bennett "The C-suite is probably the most interested in learning about trade nuances than ever before" - Trang Pham Critical Takeaway: Trade compliance is no longer just paperwork - it's a strategic business partner driving resilience and innovation during global economic uncertainties.

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, open borders, radicalized college campuses, and biased media drive cultural decay in the U.S. Unvetted immigration from conflict zones, homegrown terrorism fueled by media misrepresentation, and Marxist indoctrination in universities are key issues. A Marxist allegedly killed two people in D.C. weeks ago and now an Egyptian illegal immigrant allegedly tried to kill people protesting Hamas in Boulder, Colorado, with Molotov cocktails. Biden's policies worsened these problems, and outlets like CNN and the New York Times spread Hamas propaganda, such as false claims of Israeli attacks. Later, colleges and universities have been destroyed by Islamists, Marxists, and foreign influences like Qatar, Iran, and Hamas, with Jews being targeted in a manner reminiscent of the 1930s. These groups, supported by the Democrat Party, media, and courts, are anti-American and aim to collapse the system. Also, President Trump forcefully posted about Iran – “The AUTOPEN should have stopped Iran a long time ago from “enriching.” Under our potential Agreement — WE WILL NOT ALLOW ANY ENRICHMENT OF URANIUM!” He may have posted this as a response to leakers claiming there's a deal that allows Iran to enrich uranium. These leaks might come from the fifth column isolationists or Iranian sympathizers within the administration aiming to undermine Trump.  Afterward, the United States is among the most religiously tolerant nations, with the Constitution ensuring freedoms for all, regardless of beliefs. Faith acts as a moral foundation, moderating behavior and fostering societal civility, even influencing non-believers through surrounding values. Christianity does not seek political control, in contrast to political Islam, which aims for centralized authority over society and government. Without an enlightenment embracing individual liberty, Islam's dominant establishment often supports Islamism, which clashes with Western values.  Importing such ideologies into the U.S. may lead to resistance against assimilation, as seen in parts of Europe and emerging in America.  In Addition, George Washington University's Program on Extremism details how Hamas established early ties with Iran through meetings led by Mousa Abu Marzook, a key Hamas figure, while he was a student in the U.S. in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Marzook, who later became Deputy Chief of Hamas's Political Bureau, orchestrated these connections from American soil. These ties, formalized during a 1991 Tehran meeting, laid the groundwork for Iran's long-term backing of Hamas, including advanced knowledge of Hamas's October 7, 2023, attack on Israel. Can you imagine what's going on today? Finally, Steve Moore calls in and highlights the economy's strong performance in the second quarter, citing a Federal Reserve estimate of 4.6% GDP growth, a significant rebound from the negative 0.2% in the first quarter under Biden. He notes low inflation at under 2.5%, compared to Biden's average of 6%, and emphasizes rising personal income and consumer spending. Moore credits these improvements to the early days of Trump's presidency, countering media predictions of economic collapse. He also stresses the urgency of making Trump's tax cuts permanent to avoid a historic tax increase, which Moore says would cost the average family $2,500 annually. Learn more about your ad choices.

Main Points/Takeaways: E-commerce and De Minimis Overview: - E-commerce represents the "democratization of global trade" - De minimis allows low-value shipments to enter countries with reduced customs processing - Historical threshold progression: $1 (1930s) → $5 → $200 → $800 (2016) Key Changes and Implications: - As of May 2, significant changes to de minimis rules are happening - China's low-cost shipments through de minimis will be significantly impacted - CBP currently processes 4 million de minimis shipments daily (up from 1 million in 2018) Standout Insights: - E-commerce flipped traditional trade model by allowing buyers to find sellers easily - Trade's biggest barrier is complexity of importing/exporting - COVID-19 dramatically accelerated e-commerce adoption Notable Quote: "E-commerce represented the democratization of global trade. It allowed small and medium sized companies to sell their products around the world." - Marianne Rowden Strategic Considerations: - Businesses need to understand evolving cross-border shipping regulations - Cost-benefit analysis of customs processing is needed - Postal and direct-to-consumer shipping channels are changing Potential Future Actions: - CBP likely to issue interim final rule in June/July - More scrutiny on international low-value shipments expected #Ecommerce #GlobalTrade #DeMinimis #TradePolicy #InternationalBusiness #CBP #OnlineShopping Connect with our Expert: Marianne Rowden LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marianne-rowden-43456110/  Website: https://www.emtc.org/  Other Articles/Sources Mentioned: Join EMTC's Open Forum on Tariffs In the midst of all this chaos, education is your best ally.

While President Trump is working hard, cleaning up Joe Biden's mess at full-force, Democrats are doing everything they can to push back.  Trump imposed tariffs on other countries that did not take effect yet because they caved to us.  Democrats are calling for protests and violence to push back on Trump and his agenda.  It seems like Democrats take excemption to Republicans fixing everything wrong with this country and draining the swamp, and importing illegals.  Republicans in Minnesota are seeking to have House Democrats, recalled for boycotting lesislative session.  But it appears that both sides have agreed to a power-sharing agreement.  -Thank you for listening!-
