In today’s episode of GovCon Giants, I sit down with Bill Reinsch—Senior Adviser and Chair Emeritus at CSIS and a former Undersecretary of Commerce—to unpack the truth about trade wars, tariffs, and why global uncertainty is rattling supply chains like never before. Bill takes us behind the curtain of U.S. economic policy, drawing from decades of experience in Capitol Hill, the Clinton administration, and working with multinational corporations. Whether you’re importing components, supplying the federal government, or just wondering why your toaster costs more—this conversation is a masterclass.

We talk about the real cost of reshoring, the myth of domestic revival, and why small businesses will feel the pinch the hardest. Bill doesn’t hold back—he breaks down how tariffs are playing out in real-time, why “friend-shoring” might be a smarter bet than “America-only” strategies, and how companies like yours can rethink risk, resilience, and global dependencies. If you want the unfiltered version of what’s really going on in global trade—this is the episode for you.
