Nestpoint is pleased to share that our Managing Director, John Thomas, recently joined a high-profile panel on The Newsmakers—the flagship current affairs program on TRT World—to discuss the sweeping impact of newly announced tariffs and their implications for global trade, job creation, and investment.
Moderated by Andreas Sankin, the segment brought together international trade experts, former diplomats, and strategic advisors to provide a nuanced look at how the U.S. administration’s reciprocal tariffs might reshape both domestic and global economies. Representing Nestpoint, John Thomas offered insider insight into how major conglomerates and businesses can leverage these policy shifts to their advantage.
“At Nestpoint, we see this as an opportunity to onshore a large portion of manufacturing,” Thomas said. “With proper strategic planning, companies can adapt faster and build more resilient supply chains at home.”
By spotlighting the urgency of adapting to new tariff environments, Thomas reaffirmed Nestpoint’s commitment to helping clients remain competitive in a rapidly evolving marketplace.
