Please note that we have transitioned to a new log-on system that may take a bit longer to onboard. We apologize for any inconvenience and look forward to having you there.
This conversation will cover the role of the USTR in trade policymaking. In the current administration, key themes include worker-centered trade policy and contemporary trade issues, such as economic coercion and non-market practices. We will also discuss ongoing concerns in the U.S. trade relationship with Japan.
