内容简介
Peter Van den Bossche will first discuss the state of international trade in 2025 and what has happened under the new America First Trade Policy to date. Second, he will explore whether there is any logic in the US trade policy madness, whether tariffs are an effective and legal tool to achieve the US trade policy objectives, and whether US trade policy is self-defeating bullying or the effective use of raw economic power. Third, he will examine how WTO Members can, should and do react against the America First Trade Policy. Finally, he will address the question whether there is still a role for the WTO in this world gone crazy and what reforms to the WTO can, realistically, be achieved.
