FARMINGDALE, New York ¨C Once a week, executives of D¡¯Addario & Company, a maker of strings and drumsticks for the world¡¯s top musicians, gather at the company¡¯s headquarters about 64 kilometers east of New York to strategize how they should respond to U.S. President Donald Trump¡¯s trade war between the U.S. and the rest of the world.
¡°We literally call it our trade war task force,¡± said CEO John D¡¯Addario III.
Back in April, Trump was generating so much turmoil on trade that they met daily. But as they¡¯ve gotten the hang of responding to constantly changing rules, they¡¯ve scaled back to meeting weekly to map out plans to protect their business and take advantage of opportunities that may arise.
