Podcast Overview
In this episode of The DownLink Podcast, host Laura Winter explores how newly expanded tariffs—particularly those targeting Chinese imports—are putting pressure on the U.S. space industry by limiting access to critical minerals and rare earth elements. With no carve-outs for space systems, companies face rising costs and potential supply chain disruptions. Guests Bryan Zetlen and Bailey Reichelt break down the operational and legal impacts of these trade policies, offering insights into how space businesses can navigate the evolving regulatory landscape and prepare for long-term risks.
