International trade faces significant challenges amid rising protectionism and geopolitical tensions. Join us for a discussion to explore critical trade policy issues and upcoming trends that could influence trade in this region.
A fractured multilateral framework and discord among WTO members add to the complexity of international trade, as policymakers strive to ensure resilient supply chains, drive innovation, and sustain economic growth. Donald Trump's leadership in the US is likely to further disrupt global trade, with his administration's policies aimed at reshaping markets and threatening economic stability.
Given such complexities, what are the key policy considerations and risks that need to be assessed?
The panel will address key issues including upcoming trends in trade policies and regional trade dynamics (US, China, and the Asia-Pacific) and challenges and opportunities in the current trade environment.
Speakers:
- Nathan Bush: Partner, DLA Piper
- Ethan Wu: Asia Correspondent, The Economist
Moderator:
- Deborah Elms: Head of Trade Policy, Hinrich Foundation
