Ep. 36: Sunrise, Sunset, Swiftly Flows the Trade News: Europe, India, China and the WTO

In the latest episode of the Friday Exchange, our trade insiders shine the spotlight on Europe, potential steel controversies, and the future of multilateralism. We break down the European Parliament’s not-so-enthusiastic move to advance the Turnberry Agreement with the U.S., while building in “sunrise” and “sunset” safeguards that allow the EU to walk away if Washington changes course. They also unpack what that means for steel and aluminum tariffs, why the details on derivative products could become a deal-breaker, and how rising prices, lost jobs, and political pressure are shaping the next moves. They also chat about U.S.–India trade, the WTO e-commerce moratorium, China, and taking the U.S. seriously on WTO reform.Featured Speakers:Introduction: Kenneth Levinson, CEO, WITA – The International Trade AssociationDaniel Mullaney, Non-Resident Senior Fellow, Atlantic Council; former Assistant U.S. Trade Representative for Europe and the Middle EastChris Padilla, Senior Advisor, Brunswick Group; former Under Secretary of Commerce for International TradeDawn Shackleford, President at Looking Glass Trade, LLC; former Executive Director for Trade Agreements Policy & Negotiations, Department of Commerce; former Assistant USTR for WTO & Multilateral AffairsJoe Damond, Principal, DamondGlobal LLC; former Deputy Assistant USTR for Asia
