US tariffs hit Walloon firms but market remains open, Awex says

US tariffs are causing Walloon companies with significant US turnover to lose contracts due to reduced competitiveness, particularly in large-scale distribution. However, Awex reports that Walloon SMEs still seek to enter the US market, attending trade fairs in Chicago, indicating the market is not closed. In 2025, the US was the fifth destination for Walloon exports.
