Latest News about Raj Subramaniam
Raj Subramaniam is scheduled to be interviewed by David Rubenstein at The Economic Club of Washington, D.C. on April 29, 2026. The event will feature discussion of his leadership at FedEx and the company's global transformation initiatives.
On April 2, 2025, dubbed 'Liberation Day' by the White House, the Trump administration imposed a minimum 10% tariff on all imported goods and reciprocal tariffs of up to 50% on countries with large U.S. trade surpluses like China, significantly impacting FedEx's global goods transportation business. FedEx CEO Raj Subramaniam responded by drawing on lessons from founder Fred Smith, undertaking a major cost-cutting program, combining the company's ground and air networks, and spinning off FedEx Freight to adapt to the new trade environment amid investor pressure.
