Andrew Greenland Featured as Expert on Proposed Tariffs in News

Assistant Professor Andrew Greenland was recently featured in multiple news outlets, providing expert analysis on the potential economic impact of proposed tariffs. His insights appeared in ABC11, WRAL, The Charlotte Observer, StarNews Online and Port City Daily. He was also featured as a guest on WUNC’s Due South Radio Show, where he discussed how the tariffs could affect North Carolina’s economy, particularly in the agriculture and trade sectors.

Greenland told WRAL News that the U.S. manufactures some materials, such as steel, domestically. But competition for domestic goods could drive up their prices, he said.

“These tariffs are going to manifest pretty quickly into rising construction costs,” Greenland said. “To the extent that some of these construction projects may be undertaken by municipalities and schools or groups [with] tight budgets — they may have to think about delaying some of these projects until they get certainty about what prices are going to look like… as the construction projects take place.”

Greenland’s expertise in trade policy and international economics has made him a sought-after voice in economic policy discussions. His research explores the broader implications of international trade policies on local economies, helping policymakers and the public better understand these complex issues.
