What Tariff Uncertainty Means for Connecticut

In this episode of the CBIA BizCast, Amanda Marlow sits down with CBIA Foundation director Dustin Nord to break down major recent developments surrounding the Trump Administration’s sweeping global tariffs. In late February, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act were unconstitutional. While the ruling was welcomed by many businesses, it also created new economic uncertainty. The episode also features highlights from a conversation from CBIA’s 2026 Technology Summit between Sen. James Maroney (D-Milford), Yale Venture’s Josh Geballe, Future of Privacy Forum’s Tatiana Rice and Amazon’s Wyatt Bosworth on the state of AI for businesses, and the balancing act for policymakers.
