ONLINE PROGRAMMING | MARCH 11 | 8PM – 9PM EST | MEMBERS AND NON-MEMBERS
Join us for a conversation Noah Fraser from the U.S. China Business Council and David Perez-Desrosiers from the Canada China Business Council to discuss the return of Donald Trump as U.S. President and its impact on trade and foreign policy.
With a new administration in Washington, this event will explore the unfolding dynamics of the U.S.-China relations in the context of trade, technology, and foreign policy. As the administration begins to outline its strategic approach, questions remain about the future of tariffs, export controls, and the “chip war” over semiconductor technology. These policies are poised to shape the next chapter of U.S.-China competition, with significant implications for global supply chains, national security, and multilateral relations.
