Energy in the Trade War Crossfire

Oil prices and company valuations nosedived last week, hit by a double whammy of economy-slowing tariffs and an unexpected supply hike from OPEC. President Trump’s historic tariffs will profoundly affect the energy industry, potentially eclipsing earlier policy initiatives on energy dominance and unleashing domestic resources. New tariffs also pose urgent questions for the electricity and renewables sectors, which heavily depend on imports from China and Southeast Asia.   

Please join the CSIS Energy Security and Climate Change Program as we discuss the policy and industry implications of the escalating trade war. Joseph Majkut, Director of the CSIS Energy Security and Climate Change Program, will moderate a discussion with Clay Seigle, Kevin Book, and Leslie Abrahams. 

This event is made possible by general funding to CSIS and the CSIS Energy Security and Climate Change Program.
