This panel will take a closer look at the shifting legal and economic landscape for cross-border investments in the United States, especially in light of growing uncertainty and the broad deregulatory moves under a second Trump administration. Drawing on recent developments in the United States, the discussion will explore how investors, companies, and advisors can navigate a more volatile regulatory environment while also spotting new areas for growth. Panelists will discuss practical examples, such as the potential resurgence of “America First” policies that prioritize domestic suppliers, and the impact of loosening ESG disclosure rules on international investors seeking long-term certainty and market access. The panel discussion will include hands-on considerations for Brazilian companies and institutional investors entering or expanding in the U.S. market, including how to structure deals, manage compliance risks, and anticipate cross-border challenges.
