With Donald Trump preparing to return to the White House on January 20th, his proposed trade and economic policies are already making waves across industries.

One of the most talked-about measures is a 25% tariff on Mexican imports, aimed at addressing the U.S. trade deficit and immigration tensions.

On The Wealth Tracker, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Samuel Gordon, CEO of GORDON PWC about how Trump’s policies could reshape the tequila industry.
