The Globalist

Will Trump unleash a new trade war that could seriously impede the post-corona recovery?

Will China really halt technology transfers that it has required under many joint venture deals with U.S. companies?

The U.S. imports 80% of its rare earths from China, but accounts for just 4% of China’s rare earths exports. This gives China a significant advantage.

Will the US and EU find a compromise on trade to avert a head-on clash?

The fallacy of seeking to reduce the U.S. trade deficit without raising U.S. savings rates.

How is Europe impacted by transatlantic and U.S.-Chinese trade tensions and by trade with China itself?

If Trump has his way, the liberal market economy of the post-war period is ending. The Trump world proudly and unapologetically embraces mercantilism.

By moving forward with the bilateral trade deal, Japan and the EU are making clear that the global appetite for trade deals outside of the U.S. remains strong.
