  • How did last week’s talks turn out?

    After a freshly concluded round of trade talks here in Washington, we figured we’d take a short detour and get the view from the US this week. We chat with USCBC Senior Vice President Jake Parker about what happened during last week’s talks, why the Chinese visit to Montana and Nebraska was cancelled, and what we should be keeping an eye on in the coming weeks.

    Exclusive coverage and analysis for USCBC members is always available on our website.
