Join members of Steptoe's International Trade, Energy, and Export Controls teams for a 30-minute on demand webinar on how the new Executive Order could impact suppliers and other companies whose products are used throughout the US bulk-power system.
On Friday, May 1, President Trump issued an Executive Order declaring a national emergency with respect to the threat posed to the United States bulk-power system by certain equipment potentially liable to exploitation by "foreign adversaries." Under the Executive Order, certain foreign-supplied equipment used in the US bulk-power system will be subject to US government review and potentially prohibited by the Secretary of Energy, in consultation with other US agencies.
