Currently, U.S. international trade policy is characterized by protectionist policies. How does this relate to COVID-19?
The global trading system and multilateral institutions have been targets of President Trump’s delusional war on all forms of global cooperation. The Coronavirus demonstrates to all the intricate connectivity of the global system. It demonstrates the foolishness of Trump’s war on international rules and institutions.
What does the outbreak of COVID-19 mean for crucial global supply chains?
Malawer: Trade and international business transactions today are dominated by global supply chains. Tariff wars need to stop—now. Unilateral actions of the Trump administration must be shut down. Period.
What does the future of global supply chains look like in the wake of the COVID-19 crisis?
Perhaps an upside is that all nations once again will understand that we all live in a global system and that system, needs to be nourished, thoughtfully.
