TradeCraft Podcast

In Episode 2 - Pt. II, Marc examines how the Trump Administration’s strained relations with traditional trading partners might affect the developing trade war with China, games out what non-tariff barriers China could turn to as it retaliates against the U.S., and highlights an issue that should keep all free-traders up at night — Sovereign Patent Pools.

In Episode 2 - Pt. I, Marc explores the issues that inspired the Section 301 tariffs against China, reveals how China is taking its cues from a 1998 EU case against the U.S., and explains why the issue of “separability” could confound the Trump Administration’s legal justification and affect the future of Section 301 action.

In Episode 1, Marc explains how the WTO is proving its worth amid the steel and aluminum tariffs fallout, explores why GATT Article 21 should give pause to the Trump Administration (as well as to every other WTO member), and reveals how the EU, with its recent retaliatory action, might have just ceded its legal high ground to the United States.

International trade makes headlines, especially when disputes arise among countries.

Business is on the frontlines of these disputes, but they are waged over politics and law.

Welcome to TRADECRAFT, a new podcast exploring the craft of trade policy.

Join host Collin Janich, in conversation with trade expert and Georgetown University professor Marc Busch, as TRADECRAFT takes an in-depth look at trade issues making headlines today, and the ones that will be making headlines tomorrow.
