From @nicolaslamp.bsky.social:

"[Other countries] need to recognize that the United States has made itself an outcast in the international trade regime and treat it as such, while continuing to respect international trade law in their relationships with each other."

Spot on by @nicolaslamp.bsky.social: ”For whatever else President Trump did on April 2nd, he did not offer a superior alternative to [highly imperfect system of international trade law that we have]-not for the United States, and much less for the world.”

Just the list of topics tells you about the changing world of trade policy.

The theme of the Institute identifies four major changes in trade policy:
Why we regulate trade (➡️multipurpose trade policy)
With whom we trade (➡️friend-shoring, decoupling)
What we trade (➡️supply chain management)
How we regulate trade (➡️institutional fragmentation)

On Nov. 20-22, Queen’s is hosting the 15th edition of the Trade Institute, a professional training course for trade officials.

The theme is: “Trade Policy for a Fragmenting World Economy”

For the first time, the course is held virtually and is open to anyone ($)!
