Join us on Global Edge Talk as we welcome Ala Simms, a seasoned tariff and trade consultant who sheds light on the current turmoil in international trade. Have you ever wondered how the looming 25% tariffs on steel and aluminum might disrupt the automotive industry or why the 10% tariff on Chinese goods is causing ripples across North American borders? Let Ala guide us through the tangled web of negotiations between the US, Canada, and Mexico. As we unravel these complex topics, we consider the potential fallout on consumers facing price hikes and supply chain disruptions while also exploring the role of Chinese plants in Mexico and the delicate balance of free trade agreements.
Venturing into global trade, we tackle the intricate dance of protectionist policies and intellectual property rights, examining how these factors could reshape international relationships. With insights into the US's ambition for manufacturing self-sufficiency, we discuss the potential for retaliatory tariffs and the challenges of maintaining America's trade leadership. Ala helps us revisit the principles of competitive advantage, pondering how nations can harmonize trade for mutual gain without sidelining key partners. Tune in to explore these pressing issues and consider how artificial intelligence might steer the future of global trade relations.
