U.S.-China Trade: Deal or No Deal?

VIEW EVENT DETAILS  

Asia Briefing


Wendy Cutler and Arthur Kroeber discuss the U.S.-China trade relationship with Tom Nagorski. (56 min., 28 sec.)


Live Webcast

Can’t make it to this program? Tune in Monday, Mar. 4, at 8:30 a.m. New York time for a free live video webcast. #AsiaSocietyLIVEAsiaSociety.org/Live

Breakfast available from 8:00 a.m.
Discussion begins at 8:30 a.m.

Like many candidates before him, Donald Trump spoke of taking a tough line on China on the campaign trail. Unlike his predecessors, President Trump has pursued a largely confrontational approach since taking office, resulting in escalating tit-for-tat tariffs between the world’s two largest economies. Last December, the U.S. and China announced a 90-day truce, and entered into negotiations aimed at resolving the impasse.

Join us for a discussion soon after the deadline, with Asia Society Policy Institute’s Wendy Cutler and Arthur Kroeber, partner and Head of Research at Gavekal, a financial-services firm based in Hong Kong, to discuss the outcomes of the U.S.-China trade negotiations. Will a deal get done? Will even stiffer tariffs be imposed? Either way, what are the likely implications for the global economy, and the broader U.S.-China relationship?
