Trade & Transportation: Tariffs & Rail Merger Impacts on the Chemical Industry
In this episode, we bring you a panel discussion recorded live at ACD’s Annual Meeting on November 12. Host Eric R. Byer is joined by industry experts Karyn Booth of Thompson Hine LLP and Michael Tomenga of Neville Peterson LLP to break down the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling on President Trump’s International Emergency Economic Powers Act tariffs and what this decision means for the chemical distribution industry. The panel also examines the potential implications of the proposed Union Pacific–Norfolk Southern rail merger, including how it could affect market competition, service reliability, and freight costs across the chemical industry.
