Nexans' Strategy Amid Political Uncertainty: Nexans plans to convert its Charleston, South Carolina plant into an export hub for undersea cables if the U.S. offshore wind sector faces challenges under a potential Trump presidency, indicating confidence in maintaining margins despite possible project halts.
