Trump 2.0: Global Trade, Tariffs & Economic Shifts
Date: 7 May
In part two, of our Trump 2.0 webinar series, we explore the international consequences of President Trump’s return to power. With initial tariffs far exceeding expectations, we will discuss renewed tariff tensions, shifting alliances, supply chain disruptions and global market uncertainty. We will examine how the first 100 days have shaped the global economic landscape — and what the ripple effects may be in the months to come. We’ll focus on cross-border trade, sector-level impact, climate and the evolving role of the US to its neighbours and globally.
This webinar is being held on our new platform, ON24. If you did not receive your confirmation email, please check your junk and spam folders.
