Assignment: Research relevant articles and write a 2-page Reflection (single space, 12-point Times New Roman font) on "Trump and Supply Chains." To help you start, two articles and their links are provided below. Your score, ranging from 1 to 6 points, will be added to your final course grade. Note that a score of 6 points is equivalent to adding 20 extra points to your first exam, because first exam accounts for 30% of the course grade.
