We do R&D in the Dominican Republic. Like most nations in the USA orbit, we receive our eastern imports via the USA via transshipping.

This is also disrupting the nascent technology industries in the Caribbean and the Latin-American diaspora. For us specifically, it will increase our logistics costs by multiples and lead times by weeks.

I expect this will result in substantial schedule misses and cost overruns.



Perhaps new transshippers in Canada or maybe Mexico could take the place of the Americans.


Perhaps. For now, it looks like we get a reprieve.
