Navigating Trade Tariffs and Protectionism: Strategic Supply Chain Responses in an Era of Geopolitical Uncertainty

Author(s) Jay Patel
Country United States
Abstract The resurgence of global trade protectionism, characterized by rising tariffs, export controls, and geopolitical disputes, has significantly impacted global supply chain strategies. Major economic confrontations, such as the U.S.-China trade war, Brexit, and semiconductor export restrictions, have disrupted global sourcing models, increased operational costs, and introduced new layers of uncertainty. These disruptions have forced supply chain leaders to reconsider their dependency on globalized networks and explore strategic responses such as nearshoring, supplier diversification, and digital risk modeling. This paper examines the implications of global trade tariffs on supply chain structures and operations, with a focus on adaptive strategies, leadership decision-making, and regulatory considerations. By analyzing recent case studies and academic research, this study provides a framework for managing tariff-related risks and building resilient, future-ready supply chains.
