Event Details
The daily headlines suggest a high stakes game of chicken with China, South Korea, NAFTA, stock market gyrations and more. Is the US laying the groundwork for a trade war or are the daily pronouncements mere bargaining chips in a carrot and stick approach to diplomacy? A year ago Dr. Levy spoke to the International Roundtable and expressed misgivings about pronouncements coming from the administration's trade policy advisor Peter Navarro. Now that the threat of tariffs, retaliatory actions, and protectionism are now policy actions, what should investors, exporters, and importers know to prepare themselves? Dr. Levy tackles these tough questions again in a return to the International Roundtable. Join us.
