Law360 Quotes Partner Jonathan Todd on Growing Concerns Over Sectoral Tariff Actions
October 15, 2025
Benesch Partner Jonathan Todd was quoted in Law360’s recent article, “Relief Concerns Grow As Sectoral Tariff Actions Build.” The piece examines the rising complexity of U.S. trade policy as targeted tariff measures increase across industries, leading to heightened compliance challenges and economic uncertainty for importers and manufacturers.
Todd said clients are aware of the seemingly sole avenue for Section 232 tariff relief, and some have inquired whether countries that have yet to strike deals with the U.S. could have their imports protected, at least in part from higher sectoral tariffs. “The answer is yes, it’s entirely possible that there could be similar effects, and that the federal government will use these as negotiating future trade deals unfurl,” Todd said.
The article underscores a growing consensus that trade relief and enforcement mechanisms—while aimed at leveling the playing field—are also adding new layers of risk and unpredictability to global commerce.
