Walking Out: America's New Trade Policy in the Asia-Pacific and Beyond

From tariff wars to torn-up trade agreements, America's recent and dramatic turn away from support for freer, rules-based trade to instead go its own new way has raised questions about America’s trade policy. Join Michael Beeman, formerly Assistant US Trade Representative for Japan, Korea, and APEC for a discussion of his new book focusing on America's trade engagements in the Asia-Pacific. He contrasts the trade policy choices made by America's leaders over several generations with those of today–decisions that are now undermining the trading system America created and triggering new tensions between America and its trading partners, allies and adversaries alike.
