Online Event: A Conversation with Former USTRs

The CSIS Scholl Chair in International Business is honored to again present a conversation with eight former United States Trade Representatives, who will share wisdom from their own experiences and discuss what a positive trade agenda should look like for the Biden administration. We look forward to an engaging discussion on approaches to the U.S.-China relationship, transatlantic negotiations with the EU and UK, the US role in the Pacific, the state of the World Trade Organization, and the international trading system. Please join us for what is sure to be an engaging and informative discussion.
