Navigating Today’s Turbulent Trade Waters

The rapidly changing landscape for businesses engaged in international trade has caused consternation and concern. It seems that every day a new trade policy or regulation is released that may impact firms from farms to multinationals. The impact of these rapid changes has been dramatic for some firms, minor for others, but worrying for all.

Join us for this webinar, as we break down what is actually going on with trade today, taking apart complex policy pronouncements and carving out the substance of what it all means and how it might affect firms. The principal focus will be on protective tariffs, trade agreement negotiations, and the likely future of trade policy in the United States.
