The 2022 edition of the AIG Global Trade Series explores the competition and connectedness that characterise the current trade landscape.
In this podcast, Rem Korteweg (Senior Research Fellow, Clingendael Institute) is joined by Fred Hochberg (former Chairman and President of the Export-Import Bank of the United States) and Stormy-Annika Mildner (Executive Director, Aspen Institute Germany). Listen as they discuss the US Trade agenda after the U.S. midterm elections.
For President Joe Biden, the midterms outcome was better than expected, with fewer losses in the House of Representatives than many anticipated and with the Democratic Party maintaining control of the U.S. Senate. How will this outcome impact President Biden’s approach to trade over the next two years, if at all? Amidst increased EU-US tensions, such as around the Inflation Reduction Act and the CHIPS and Science Act, will the U.S. return to the World Trade Organization as a constructive partner?
