Dan Digre

Dan Digre is the CEO of Misco, a family-owned speaker manufacturing company based in Minnesota that has been in operation for 75 years. Digre's company represents the kind of American manufacturer that former President Donald Trump aimed to protect with his trade policies. However, since the implementation of tariffs on Chinese exports in 2018, Misco has faced significant challenges, being forced to outsource parts of its production due to increased costs of foreign components. This situation exemplifies the unintended consequences of broad tariffs that, while designed to support domestic industries, can hinder companies dependent on global supply chains.
