Former Trade Negotiators Discuss This Week’s Tariff 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 this week’s episode, the OG trade insiders dive into the developing new trade world paradigm; Secretary Rubio’s visit to India; the EU moving forward to implement the Turnberry agreement with the U.S., and confronting their own China contradictions. Our former negotiators also talk about tariff uncertainty over the impending 301 tariffs (a feature, not a bug?), and what these new developments mean for the future of international trade cooperation and confrontation.
