Jonathan Todd Quoted in Logistics Management on White House Executive Order and Ongoing Trade Uncertainty

September 18, 2025

Benesch Partner Jonathan Todd, a leading voice in the Transportation & Logistics industry, was quoted in Logistics Management in coverage of the Executive Order aimed at reducing trade uncertainty.

The article examines how the Order provides some clarity for U.S. businesses, while leaving many important questions unanswered for those navigating global supply chains.

Jonathan Todd commented:

“I think that people who say uncertainty now really mean to communicate that they don’t like the current state of affairs,” he said. “We know where the reciprocal tariffs landed. We know where material discussions are happening with countries. There’s a lot that we do know. The number one thing we don’t know is what’s going to happen with the U.S. Supreme Court, but we’ll know that in due time. I think this is less a period of uncertainty.”

Todd’s remarks emphasize the importance of regulatory guidance and predictability as companies adapt to evolving trade policies and seek to maintain efficient, cost-effective supply chains.
