The Real Trade Emergency—Why the Business Community Must Lead Again
U.S. trade policy is adrift—not for lack of activity, but for lack of leadership coordination and vision. The recent use of emergency authorities like the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to impose tariffs reflects a broader challenge. It's not just about policy complexity in an uncertain global economy; it's also about the absence of strong, unified input from the American business community. For decades, U.S. companies helped shape an open, rules-based trading system. Today, that collective voice is missing, and the consequences are mounting. American businesses once led boldly on trade. They were instrumental in building a global system that expanded prosperity, lifted millions out of poverty, and cemented U.S. economic leadership. Organizations like the Emergency Committee for American Trade (ECAT), founded in 1967 by executives from IBM, Ford, John Deere, and Chase Manhattan Bank, stood at the center of that effort. These leaders understood that trade policy wasn't just a Washington exercise; it was a business imperative. President Donald Trump answers questions from reporters in the Oval Office on Aug. 14, 2025, in Washington, D.C. President Donald Trump answers questions from reporters in the Oval Office on Aug. 14, 2025, in Washington, when ECAT closed its doors in 2018, it signaled, perhaps prematurely, that business had declared victory on trade. What followed was fragmentation: sector-by-sector advocacy, each focused on its own narrow interests. Now, the tech industry lobbies for digital priorities. Agriculture and food companies navigate their own trade challenges. Financial firms carve out separate agendas. Branded consumer companies defend their global reputations. But few speak with a unified voice about the broader U.S. trade strategy or the need for one. A siloed approach has weakened America's global negotiating position and eroded public support for open markets. The result? Incoherent policies, rising costs, and missed opportunities. While large multinationals can often absorb or shift the impact of tariffs, smaller businesses and households are less fortunate. Trade policy built on ad hoc decisions and political expediency doesn't deliver for the broader economy. Greg Page, former chairman and CEO of Cargill, once said in a meeting with government officials while we were advocating on the Transpacific Partnership in Washington, DC: "When it's every company and every country for itself, the poor suffer most." Greg's warning rings louder today. The erosion of collaborative business leadership on trade isn't just an economic issue; it's a moral and strategic one. Trade has always been about more than market access. It's about building bridges, deepening alliances, and strengthening the backbone of democracy through shared prosperity. In the absence of business leadership, policy risks becoming reactive and politicized. Consider this: America's own revolution was sparked in part by opposition to unfair tariffs. Advocating for modern trade liberalization isn't anti-American; it's deeply in line with the nation's founding ideals. Eliminating harmful trade barriers and investing in rules-based trade enhances our independence and global standing. Meanwhile, other nations aren't standing still. The European Union, China, and regional blocs across Asia and Africa are forging new trade agreements, shaping global standards without U.S. leadership at the table. As others write the rules of tomorrow's economy, America risks becoming a rule-taker, not a rule-maker. To reverse this drift, the business community must once again act as a strategic stakeholder; not just a special interest. CEOs must move beyond zero-sum thinking and reassert themselves as advocates of a coherent, forward-looking trade agenda. It means reengaging in Washington not simply to protect their own sectors, but to help shape a national strategy that benefits the full economy to include workers, consumers, and companies alike. Trade isn't just about exports and deficits. It's about values. It's about whether the U.S. will lead a world built on cooperation and fair competition, or retreat into fragmented, transactional relationships that benefit the few at the expense of the many. The real emergency in trade today isn't the deficit. It's the dangerous silence of the private sector. If U.S. businesses want a stable, predictable, and open global economy, they must help rebuild it. That begins with speaking out—not as isolated sectors, but as one business community, united by the shared understanding that long-term prosperity requires open markets, strong institutions, and principled leadership. It's not too late—but it's later than we think. Devry Boughner Vorwerk is CEO of DevryBVSustainable Strategies and former corporate vice president of global corporate affairs at Cargill and head of corporate affairs at Grubhub. She has more than 25 years of experience in international trade, including roles at the U.S. International Trade Commission, the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative, the World Bank, and Akin Gump.

US Open serves AI add-ons for tennis matches
This story was originally published on CIO Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily CIO Dive newsletter. The United States Tennis Association is bringing AI-powered experiences to the U.S. Open this week as part of an IBM partnership, the organizations announced Monday. Fans can access an AI assistant, called Match Chat, during and after the 254 singles matches by selecting a pre-written prompt or typing their own questions about player stats or records. The assistant was built with IBM watsonx Orchestrate technology, including AI agents and LLMs, and trained on the U.S. Open data. The companies are also introducing an enhanced version of IBM SlamTracker that projects win probabilities in real time and AI-generated commentary for post-match insights. Between 13 million and 15 million visitors are expected to interact with the digital platforms, according to Brian Ryerson, senior director of digital strategy at the USTA. 'We developed a long-term technology roadmap that has transformed how we operate and connect with fans,' Ryerson said in a statement. 'We identified the hybrid cloud and AI capabilities needed to bring it to life.' As the USTA has been developing a new lineup of tools, the tennis organization has also focused on upgrading core operations and back-office workflows. 'Behind the scenes, we're leveraging IBM's AI-powered tools to streamline infrastructure management, optimize costs and improve operational resilience,' Ryerson said in an email to CIO Dive. 'These capabilities also enhance content production workflows — accelerating everything from real-time highlights to player insights — enabling our teams to deliver timely, engaging content more efficiently than ever before.' USTA's small editorial team uses bespoke AI tools to edit AI-generated summaries of matches to improve the team's capacity. Starting with an AI summary improved content production by 300%, according to Ryerson. AI is continuing to play a larger role in sports organizations and events. The National Football League tapped AI-powered capabilities in Amazon QuickSight to develop dashboards for fans watching the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine in February. The NFL has also moved AI projects into production in its media division just before the season kicked off last year as the organization pursued productivity boosts and streamlined workflows. With each game or match, mountains of data points are ripe for the picking. AI is making it easier for organizations to share those insights with fans and employees. The All England Lawn Tennis Club brought Match Chat to Wimbledon earlier this summer as part of a collaboration with IBM. Better and more modern technology is also helping these organizations improve resiliency during high-traffic events. 'During the U.S. Open, our hybrid cloud infrastructure seamlessly scales to handle traffic surges of up to 50 times our typical annual load, ensuring uninterrupted, high-quality digital experiences for fans around the world,' Ryerson said.
