NAFTA 2.0: A Paradigm Shift in North American and European Business and the International Trade Environment?

Tue. March 05, 2019 08:00 am - 10:30 am !European Union Delegation to the UN New York, NY

Join us for a briefing on the strategic challenges faced by North American and European businesses in a time of turbulent international trade policies and practices.
●  Can the new generation of trade agreements linking the U.S., the EU, Canada and Mexico, including the USMCA, serve to reduce friction and guide smoother sailing in the future?
● What outcomes are likely in trade disputes arising from aggressive trade actions by the U.S., e.g. 232 and 301 trade actions, and countermeasures taken by its trading partners?
● Is there scope for these four trading partners to cooperate on broader reforms to the WTO international trading system?

Panelists will share insights from U.S., Canadian, Mexican and EU perspectives.
