On the sidelines of the TRENDS Symposium on April 12th at Grand Palais in Paris, I had the privilege to speak on “Trending Echoes“, the podcast of TRENDS Research & Advisory, UAE’s leading independent think tank.
In this episode titled “Rethinking Global Tariffs in the Age of US-China Tensions“, I answered questions from Abdulaziz AlShehhi, Deputy Head of Research at TRENDS, about:
📍 the rationale behind Trump’s tariff escalation
📍 whether or not this trade war was about China all along
📍 how China could respond beyond the use of further tariffs and trade barriers
📍 whether Trump may be biting off more than he can chew
📍 who stands to lose most from this trade war, and who stands to gain
📍 the opportunities that may arise from this clash of giants, especially for the GCC and the EU
Thank you to the entire team at TRENDS Research & Advisory for this opportunity to share ideas on a moment that will define the future of international trade, and for their warm Emirati hospitality!
