Rowan warns the tariff approach has damaged the US brand for stability and predictability, with long-term costs.
“Longer term, the way we've done this, we have done damage to The US brand. The brand for stability, for predictability, for regularity. That will eventually have some cost to us.”
Rowan argues the US is the freest trading market considering non-tariff barriers and questions why that should be permanent.
“The US is the second freest trading market in the world financially after Japan and is the freest trading market in the world considering non tariff barriers. Why is that written in stone?”
