Ambassador Shannon Interviewed by Valor International on U.S. Trade Policy
Senior International Policy Advisor and former U.S. Ambassador Thomas A. Shannon, Jr. was featured in the Valor International article, “Former U.S. ambassador sees growing institutional strain under Trump.” The publication interviewed Shannon on the implications of the Trump administration’s recent trade measures and the evolving role of the U.S. government.
Shannon noted that the recent tariff volatility has created uncertainty for business leaders and investors. “There’s a strong sense of unease,” he said, noting that the back-and-forth on tariffs generates instability, which is “always a negative for markets.” He also highlighted the growing strain on institutional checks and balances as the administration seeks to expand executive authority.
