**The FTR Experts were posed with the question, "What does the tariff situation look like as the political administration changes?"**

This Q&A response from the FTR experts came from the January 2021 State of Freight webinar, [Preparing for 2021](http://www.FTRintel.com/2021). View the video and the key takeaways below and then leave a comment at the bottom to let us know what you think. 

 

 

 

**Key Takeaways:**

- We don't expect to see a significant change in tariffs in the near-term.
- There will likely be a change in posturing, disposition, attitude, and negotiating style.
- Our focus is on status quo expectations and not adjusting our forecast for major changes in this area.
