Brought to you by
Following the recent Trump-Xi summit, major questions remain about the future of U.S.-China trade and investment. Join CSIS Economic Security and Technology Department's Navin Girishankar, Philip Luck, Kate Koren, Scott Kennedy, and Rick Rossow on Wednesday, May 20 from 10:00am-10:30am to break down what both sides expected, how global trading upheaval and ongoing conflicts shaped each country's decisions, and where tariffs and export controls stand today. The conversation also examined what's at stake for allies caught in the middle and what frameworks, from managed trade to purchase agreements, could define the road ahead.
This event is made possible through general support to CSIS.
