Maya Nadeau Mar 24 4:37pm Article: Longtime Fans of U.S. Stocks Are Parking Money Elsewhere --- Global investors hedge their bets on trade war, shifts in Washington policy >> One major way this article connects with global supply chain management is through the impact of geopolitical tensions on trade and sourcing decisions. The article highlights how investors are pulling money from U.S. markets and shifting towards European defense stocks, partly due to concerns over U.S.-Europe relations under Trump. This kind of political uncertainty can directly affect supply chains by influencing tariffs, trade policies, and where companies choose to source materials or manufacture products. For example, if European countries ramp up defense spending, suppliers and logistics companies will need to adjust to new demand. Companies that once relied heavily on U.S. partnerships may start looking for alternatives in Europe to align with new investment flows. This kind of shift shows why businesses need flexible supply chains that can adapt to changing global dynamics. Maya Nadeau
