How to Achieve Free but Secure Trade with Resilient Supply Chains

The tumultuous disruption of global supply chains, first crippled by the pandemic shutdowns and then further disrupted by war in Europe, has accelerated the collapse of the ever-weakening, decades-long consensus for global trade and economic globalization. For many companies, that means a push towards diversification and resilience, even redundance, in their supply chain management practices, including bringing supply chains closer to customers, reversing earlier trends towards globalization. And for major trading countries, and, particularly, for US trade policy, that means a further intensification of trade policy focusing on regional and bilateral trade and a turn towards more broad consideration of onshoring manufacturing of critical technologies and components.

Please join us for an important and timely discussion of how to achieve resilient supply chains and free but secure trade, so that the US economy can continue to grow and prosper and provide equal opportunity for all Americans. Among the key issues that will be addressed: 

  • What are the main drivers of the supply chain challenges?
  • What steps can the US and private sector leaders take to develop greater resilience in supply chains?
  • How do the supply chains challenges impact US trade policy?
  • Is free but secure trade a feasible goal?
  • Can the US preserve the benefits of global trade?
