  • US firms are preparing for potential tariffs under Donald Trump's upcoming term, following patterns from his previous presidency.
  • A study revealed that dollars donated to the Republican party increased the likelihood of firms receiving tariff exemptions.
  • Conversely, companies donating to Democratic campaigns faced lower approval rates for exemptions, indicating a politically distorted approval process.

  • Firms are likely to continue the trend of political donations to mitigate financial risks associated with tariff measures in the upcoming Trump administration.
