Former Trade Negotiators Discuss This Week’s Tariff and Trade Developments.
No one understands the dynamics with key U.S. trading partners better than the people who led these kinds of difficult trade negotiations for the United States. Panelists will update our viewers on the trade policy announcements, what remains undone; and what are expected next steps in these trade negotiations.
In the latest episode of the Friday Exchange, our trade insiders look beyond the headlines to examine what’s really happening on your screens and behind the scenes in trade discussions. The importance of USCMA to “big square states”; rethinking rules of origin; critical minerals, “unfair trade practices,” and trade with China. Our discussants also looked at choke points and leverage, China and critical minerals, and is there a danger of new tit-for-tat tolls on global shipping?
