APCO in the Media
“Prices are definitely going to increase. I think a big message that consumers need to be aware of is tariffs are paid for by the consumer.”
Safiya Ghori-Ahmed
Senior Director, Global Public Affairs, DC Lead, APCO in CNBC
“It shouldn’t come as a shock that they opened the room to podcasters and, for lack of a better word, alternative media. We even saw former Vice President Kamala Harris move away from mainstream media during campaign season in trying to reach a broader audience.”
Dan Scandling
Senior Director, Government Relations, APCO in PRWeek
“Prices will definitely go up on everyday items. So from the cars we buy to the gas we put in them…to the clothes we wear and the food we eat like avocados, corn, tomatoes.“
